On July 1, 1935, exactly thirty-two years, six months, and fifteen days after the Wright Brothers' maiden voyage, two pilots in Meridian, MS, proved to the world just how far an airplane could fly and how much it and its pilots could endure. When their tiny, single-engine Curtiss Robin airplane landed before an enthusiastic crowd of between 30,000 and 40,000 well-wishers, brothers Al and Fred Key had stayed above the earth longer than any other human beings. For 653 hours and 34 minutes - a total of twenty-seven nonstop days and nights - the brothers had circled the city of Meridian. Had their flight been in a straight line, they would have circumnavigated the globe more than twice. This 1985 edition celebrated the 50th Anniversary of their flight. A presentable copy with a very rare signature. Signed by Author(s). Codice articolo 013399

Soft Cover. Condizione: New. 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.
