About this product

Product Information

The Story of the First-Ever Round-the-World Balloon Flight As Told by the Pilots "Both of us were being driven on by a colossal charge of hope, which sometimes became so strong that we had to take deep breaths and physically choke it down. The important thing, now, was to concentrate and not make any mistakes." -- Brian Jones, March 4, flying over the Sahara Desert "This is exactly my definition of adventure...a point at which you cannot avoid confronting the unknown, so that you have to dig inside yourself to find the courage and resources to deal with what may lie ahead, and to succeed." -- Bertrand Piccard, diary entry March 10, heading out over the Pacific

  • A lofty Adventure

    Very good account authored by both Balloonists. Gives very good and different perspectives. Flying a balloon in general, let alone around the world, isn't just going up and floating around. Without a huge ground support team, similar to some extent as the Apollo project, they would not have succeeded. Bertrand and Brian also came away from their experience not as heroes but almost ambassadors for a better and more peaceful world.
