Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The history of manned flight spans just under a century, but it icludes some of the most glorious adventures in human experience. WILD BLUE: STORIES OF SURVIVAL FROM AIR AND SPACE offers the world's best writing about airborne adventures from authors such as Charles Lindbergh, Roald Dahl and Martin Amis. Like previous Adrenaline titles, WILD BLUE draws upon first-hand accounts of life and death adventures all by writers known for the grace and power of their prose. Like the men and women who climb the world's highest mountains or explore its remotest corners, these pilots have been among the boldest explorers of the past century - and their stories prove it. With contributions by Roald Dahl, Wiliam H Rankin, Tom WOlfe, Beryl Markham, Martin Amis, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Charles A Lindbergh, Ernest K Gann, Rinker Buck, Micahel Collins, Wiliam Lishman, Marshall Harrison, Martha Gellhorn, Sherman Baldwin, Sir Gordon Taylor and Ian McEwan.
