Beginning with the daring explorers and the race to the top of the world in 1926, readers investigate the exploration of the Arctic by air and the pioneering of the great circle route. Then it’s off to the south and the forbidding Antarctic.
After conquering the poles, what remains for the intrepid explorers? The development of a north-south route over Africa and the high-altitude flights over the mountain barriers.
Lavishly illustrated with photographs, drawings, and maps, “The show more Explorers” takes a comprehensive look at the early aviators determined to conquer the seeming unconquerable as these early aviators sought to banish the unknown. Part of The Epic of Flight series, these are the aerial explorers expanding our knowledge of our home planet.
Recommended for readers interested in aerial exploration, early aviation, and polar exploration. show less
