Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Soft cover has white spine with black lettering. Pages are clean and tight. Lavishly illustrated with dozens of b/w photographs. 2 appendices; bibliography. During the depth of the Great Depression, on June 4, 1935, The Flying Keys, as the brothers later became known, lifted off in a borrowed Curtiss Robin monoplane named Ole Miss from Meridian, Mississippi's airport. For the next twenty-seven days, they flew over the Meridian vicinity. Several times each day, the crew of a similar plane would lower food and supplies to the brothers on the end of a rope, as well as supply fuel via a long flexible tube, a fore runner of modern 'in flight refueling'. They landed on July 1 after traveling an estimated 52,320 miles and used more than 6,000 gallons of gasoline. Their non-stop endurance flight lasted 653 hours, 34 minutes. Their historic biplane, the Ole Miss, is displayed in the National Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC. ; B&W Illustrations; 6 X 9; x, 128 pages; Soft cover has slight shelf wear and bumping.…
