Back in print for the first time in more than 50 years, this is the classic account of American aviator Wiley Post and Australian navigator Harold Gatty's 1931 eight-day flight around the world. 8-page black-and-white photo insert. Post twice set the record for flying around the world in Winnie Mae, a Lockheed Vega 5-C:

June, 1931 - 8 days, 16 hours - with navigator Harold Gatty
July, 1933 - 7 days, 19 hours - solo
Also a scientific innovator, Post developed a pressure suit that permitted him to fly the Winnie Mae into the stratosphere. http://acepilots.com/post.html
