Fascinating and Surprising December 26, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
A clearly written and well illustrated account of some of the most intrepid adventures in history.Although you will have heard of most of the people involved, the most interesting parts of the book, for me, concerned people I'd never come across before. Cal Rodgers is one that springs to mind. Fearless to the point of derangement, Rodgers was the first person to fly across the USA, coast to coast, in 1911, crash landing so many times that by the time he got to California only the rudder and one of the wing-struts survived from his original aircraft. Insanity. There are many more tales like that in a book which will send you to the library or get you surfing the net for more details of some of these fascinating journeys.
