In relating the story of the first flight around the world, undertaken as a way to draw attention to the cuts of America's aviation budget, Lane provides the full biography of WWI hero Billy Mitchell and the US aviation policy he came to oppose. The book contains numerous good quality b&w plates of Mitchell and the others in the story. There is no index. Lane is an active pilot and plane enthusiast; his book will appeal to the same.
