Bach, Richard: Vagabunden der Lüfte
Dem sensationellen Welterfolg der Möwe Jonathan folgte Glück des Fliegens, ein Buch, das wiederum viele Menschen begeisterte. Auch Richard Bachs drittes Buch hat mit dem Glück des Fliegens zu tun: Noch einmal werden die verwehten Spuren der Himmelsstürmer und Schauflieger der zwanziger Jahre freigelegt. So entstand ein Buch vom Vergnügen am Fliegen und zugleich von Freundschaft und Freude, von Schönheit und Liebe und vom Leben in Freiheit. Schon
mit siebzehn Jahren entdeckte Richard Bach seine Liebe zur Fliegerei. Wenig
später trat er in die amerikanische Luftwaffe ein und wurde zum Jetpiloten
ausgebildet. Nach kurzen Abstechern ins Geschäftsleben und zur National Air
Guard begann er zu schreiben, zunächst für Fachzeitschriften der Fliegerei,
dann seine weltberühmten Bücher. Nicht zuletzt ihnen verdankt er seine
Bekanntschaft mit den alten Doppeldeckern, den Oldies der Luft, in deren
einem er schließlich durch den Mittleren Westen der USA trampte. |

Breitenbach, Alfons: Indienflieger mit achtzehn Jahren "Einem fünfzehnjährigen Gymnasiasten bot das Stillsitzen auf der Schulbank keine Befriedigung. Verzweifelt suchte er, seinem Leben einen Sinn und seinem Tatendrang ein Ziel zu geben. Der Zug in die Ferne verdichtete sich zum Willen, im Flugzeug große Reisen auszuführen, und verständnisvolle Eltern ermöglichten es ihm, in England die Fliegerschule zu besuchen. So sehen wir den jungen Breitenbach, mit 16 Jahren im Besitze des Fliegerbrevets, sich an Sonn- und Feiertagen in den Lüften tummeln und immer weitere Alleinflüge wagen. Trotz Mißgeschicken bildet ersieh zielbewußt weiter; seine Schilderung eines nächtlichen Alpenfluges und eines Fluges nach Spanien zeigen, daß es ihm dabei nicht auf Rekorde, sondern nur auf das Erlebnis und die ernste Leistung ankam. Mit
18 Jahren ist er sicher genug, an eine ganz große Aufgabe heranzutreten:
im kleinen Sportflugzeug, von seinem
Bruder begleitet, unternimmt er einen Fernflug von Zürich über den Balkan, Kleinasien, Mesopotamien und den
Persischen Golf bis nach Indien. Am Hofe des Maharadschahs von Jodhpur, auf
Jagdausflügen und Bergtouren im Himalaya beschließt er eine Reise, die er so
intensiv zu erleben und so fesselnd zu erzählen weiß, daß ihm jeder Leser mit
Freude und Genuß folgen wird." |

Chichester, Francis: Solo to Sydney The taste for adventure which shaped Francis Chichester's life was evident from an early age. Born at Bamstaple in North Devon in 1901, he emigrated to New Zealand before he was twenty, and during the years 1919 to 1929 he set up land and timber enterprises, and a pioneer aviation company. After returning to England in 1929 to leam to fly, he decided to pilot his Gipsy Moth aircraft to Australia - after a mere five months' training. This story is superbly retold in "Solo to Sydney", the first of a series of highly successful books. His flying exploits continued. In 1931he became the first holder of the covelted Johnson Memorial Trophy for the first solo east-west crossing of the Tasman Sea, and he later made the first solo long-distance flight in a seaplane (New Zealand to Japan). The key to his success lay with the advanced navigation procedures he had devised, and during the War he was able to put this experience at the disposal of the Air Ministry. Many of his innovations were adopted by the RAF and he became the Chief Navigation Instructor of the Empire Flying School. His interest in navigation continued after the war when he started his own map and guide business, but his energies were now devoted to sailing rather than flying. Calling his boats Gipsy Moth after the aeroplane, Chichester rapidly established a formidable reputation in ocean racing after successes that matched his pre-war flying achievements. These included winning the first solo Trans-Atlantic race in record time, for which he was made Yachtsman of the Year. Further record-breaking voyages followed, but his best remembered exploit was the single-handed circumnavigation of the world in 1966-67. For this he received a knighthood, conferred by the Queen at Greenwich using the sword given to Sir Francis Drake by Elizabeth I. Numerous honours followed, but perhaps the most significant was the Royal Geographical Society's Gold Medal, which put Chichester in the illustrious company of Stanley, Nansen, Scott, Shackleton, Peary and Fuchs - the only previous recipients of the award. This was entirely deserved, for as the President of the Institute of Navigation said, Chichester was 'the greatest single-handed navigator of the age.' Sir
Francis Chichester died in 1972, but Gipsy Moth IV is now preserved and open
to the public at Greenwich, a fitting tribute to the last great English
adventurer. |

Coonts, Stephen: The Cannibal Queen and ex-pilot with the American Navy, Stephen Coonts takes to the skies over North America, flying as he's never flown before. THE CANNIBAL QUEEN is his exultant account of three glorious months spent in a vintage 1942 Stearman bi-plane in the summer of 1991. Touching
down in all 48 of the Continental United States, Coonts brings to life a
whole country and its people. Soaring in cold air at 11,500 feet over the
Sierra Nevadas; sweating over a scorching desert; swooping across the
monumental expanse of the Great Plains - THE CANNIBAL QUEEN paints an
unforgettable portrait of vibrant, panoramic landscapes and brings to life
the intrepid spirit of America. |

Fossett, Steve - Hasley, Will: Chasing the Wind Between February 2005 and March 2006 Steve achieved the First Solo non-stop Round the World airplane flight, a follow-up 'Ultimate Flight' of over 41,000 kms, thus setting the record for the longest non-stop flight in aviation history plus a further world record RTW flight for absolute closed circuit distance (all in Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer). These three extraordinary airplane flights plus his First Solo balloon flight Round the World on Bud Light Spirit of Freedom (2002) were all milestones in aviation history. Additionally, during the solo, non-stop Round the World balloon flight Steve also covered 3,186 miles in a single 24 hour period - and hit a top speed of 200 miles per hour - flying faster than anyone ever had by manned balloon. On previous global attempts Steve achieved the first balloon crossing of the continents of Asia, Africa, Europe and South America, and the first ocean crossings of the South Atlantic, South Pacific and Indian Oceans. Steve Fossett is also the most successful Speed Sailor in the history of Sailing. His 2004 Round the World Record of 58 days 9 hours and 2001 TransAtlantic Record of 4 days 17 hours (both now superceded) were dramatic improvements over the previous records. Between 1993 and 2004 Fossett set 23 official world records in sailing (including 2 single-handed records), 11 of which still stand. In gliders Steve achieved the first 1500 Kilometer Triangle flight and the first 2000 Kilometer Out-and-Return flight. In the last 3 years he has set 10 of the 21 Glider Open World Records. Steve also holds Round the World records for medium weight airplanes (in both directions) as well as the U.S. transcontinental records for non-supersonic airplanes and unlimited turboprops. And in October 2004 Steve set the Absolute World Speed Record for airships! In addition, he has completed premier endurance sports events including the Iditarod, Ironman Triathlon, and the English Channel swim.
What
makes someone like Steve give up a secure, well-paid job for the romantic,
yet dangerous, world of the adventurer? In his dynamic autobiography, Steve
shares his inspirational stories in a personal, intimate voice. He candidly
recounts the milestones, challenges and victories that have made up his
much-heralded career and paved the way to his numerous world records. |

Gandt, Robert: Fly Low Fly Fast
Robert Gandt knows what he is talking about. Himself a former navy pilot and current Delta Air Lines captain, he speaks the language of the characters of his book. And besides being a pilot writing about pilots he has proven already that he is a master of the word too. Other famous books of Robert Gandt are:
Season of Storms: The Siege of Hong Kong 1941 China Clipper: The Age of the Great Flying Boats Skygods: The Fall of Pan Am Bogeys and Bandits: The Making of a Fighter Pilot
"Fly
Low Fly Fast" easily touches the excellence and intensity of Ernest K.

Halliburton, Richard: Der fliegende Teppich
Elly Beinhorn traf die "Jungs" aus Amerika und ihren "Fying Carpet" am Persischen Golf, wo sie einmal notlanden mußte. Hier ist der Originalbericht des amerikanischen Abenteurers...
Richard Halliburton (1900-1939) war ein amerikanischer Reiseschriftsteller und Abenteuerer. Er war der erste und warscheinlich einzige, der den Panamakanal in voller Länge durchschwamm (Er registrierte sich 1928 als "Schiff" und zahlte so etsprechend seinem Gewicht ganze 36 Cent für die Passage). In "Der Fliegende Teppich" (erschienen 1932) beschreibt Halliburton seinen abenteurlichen Flug um nahezu die ganze Erde mit einer Stearman C3B mit dem Kennzeichen NR882N, geflogen von seinem Piloten Moye Stephens, Jr. Richard
Halliburton verschwand 1939 mit seinem Schiff und seiner ganzen Crew in einem
Taifun bei dem Versuch, den Pazifik mit einer Djunke zu überqueren. |

Jenkins, Dennis R. - Landis, Tony
R.: Hypersonic Collaboratively
compiled and written by aviation experts Dennis R. Jenkins and Tony R.
Landis, Hypersonic: The Story Of The North American X-15 is an immensely
detailed and comprehensive look at the North American X-15, the fastest
airplane ever built, and the only vehicle ever flown by a pilot (instead of
by a computer) into space and back. 500 black-and-white photographs, 50 color
photographs, and 100 line drawings (including some never-before-seen images),
are deftly paired with an in-depth commentary on both the history and the
technical specifications of this superb aircraft. Hypersonic is a most
memorable tribute to the predecessor of the Space Shuttle and an invaluable
contribution to Aviation History reference collections. |

Marrett, George J.: Contrails Over the Mojave
Marrett
takes you into the cockpit with him going vertical in a T-38 Talon, high-G
maneuvering in an F-4C Phantom and wet runway landing tests in the
accident-prone F-111A Aardvark. Marrett relives stories of crashes when his
test pilot friends were killed. He writes about Air Force test pilot Col.
'Silver Fox' Stephens setting a world speed record in the YF-12 Blackbird and
Lockheed test pilot Bob Gilliland flying a single-engine, minimum-control
speed stall in the SR-71 spy plane. He recounts dead-sticking a T-38 to a
landing on Rogers Dry Lake after a twin-engine failure and conducting
dangerous tail hook barrier testing in a fighter jet without a canopy.
Marrett also writes about a UFO sighting in the night sky above the Mojave
Desert, a mysterious sighting now referred to as 'The Edwards Encounter.' |

Norton, William: U.S. Experimental & Prototype Aircraft Projects This
book focuses on those American fighter projects of WWII that never reached
combat forces, or only in a very limited manner. The book illuminates little
known or minimally documented aircraft and projects that significantly
advanced fighter design but never went into full-rate production and
deployment. The standard types are also examined to illustrate the state of
the art at the time, the American posture and capabilities, goals set by
national and military leadership, and general factors affecting the course of
development for classes of fighters. Hence, this work follows the overall
development of American fighter aircraft, but emphasizes those little-known
projects that matured to the point of significant design development such as
mockups, wind-tunnel models, and especially those yielding flying prototypes.
Also includes dead-end variants of service types, those only exported after
US evaluation, and aircraft that entered service in only small numbers before
being overcome by more advanced models or the end of hostilities. |

Post, Wiley (Pilot) - Gatty, Harold
(Navigator): Around the World in
Eight Days Highly recommended!
Introduction by Will Rogers. Having just won the 1930 NationalAir Races at Chicago,and with a $7,500 purse in their pockets, Wiley Post and Harold Gatty were looking for new records to break. Irked by the recent Publicity given the "Graf Zeppelin" on its twenty-one-day flight around the world, Post and Gatty set out to prove that an airplane could do much better. They took to the air in Post's "Winnie Mae", a Lockheed Vega, with no spare parts, no parachutes, and no life rafts - with nothing, really, but their expert preparation and their own considerable wits. Their
flight was as important as Lindbergh's in what it showed about the
reliability of the airplane and the future possibilities of worldwide
navigation. "Around the World in Eight Days", long unavailable,
records all the adventures, all the moments of apprehension, and the
experience of the people Post and Gatty met during their great pioneering
adventure. |

Ryan, Craig: Magnificent Failure This is the true story of Nick Piantanida - a story of incredible adventure, courage, bravado, and tragedy. Locked in a desperate Cold War race against the Soviets to find out if humans could survive in space and live through a free fall from space vehicles, the Pentagon gave civilian adventurer Nick Piantanida's Project Strato-Jump little notice until May Day, 1966. Operating in the shadows of well-funded, high-visibility Air Force and Navy projects, the former truck driver and pet store owner set a new world record for manned balloon altitude. Rising more than 23 miles over the South Dakota prairie, Piantanida nearly perished trying to set the world record for the highest free fall parachute jump from that height. On his next attempt, he would not be so lucky.
In
the spirit of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, Magnificent Failure portrays a
loner driven to test himself. The story recalls a by-gone era when men tested
the limits of mortality armed only with an indomitable spirit, ingenuity, and
(some say) sheer lunacy. Part harrowing adventure story, part space history,
part psychological portrait of an extraordinary risk-taker, this story
fascinates and intrigues the armchair adventurer in all of us. |

Thomas, Lowell - Thomas Jr., Lowell - Aldrin, Buzz (Foreword): Famous First Flights That Changed History
Here are Bleriot, Byrd, Doolittle, Alcock, and Brown and the others - plus the 1965 round-the-world flight over both poles! Within a few miles of the famed chalk cliffs of Dover, horror-filled spectators gasped as a little plane they had been watching spun crazily, hopelessly out of control, toward the grassy meadow sixty-five feet below. Seconds later, the plane righted itself as it crashed to the soft turf. A jubilant Frenchman named Louis Bleriot looked up from the controls, eyes aglow. He had good reason to be exhilarated - he had just completed man's first long-distance flight over water. Louis Bleriot's twenty-two-mile flight startled the world in 1909. This adventure, along with the daring exploits of many other pioneers of the air, is vividly described in FAMOUS FIRST FLIGHTS THAT CHANGED HISTORY. Both Thomas and Thomas Jr. - who had active roles in three of the sixteen history-making flights - recount all the harrowing details of the aeronautical feats of daring that have thrilled the world. Readers will find themselves involved in the romance and hazards of long-distance flying: with Lindbergh as he plays a breathtaking "game of solitaire" with the forces of nature; with the Magellans of the Air on their round-the-world air race; and with Ross Smith and his three crewmen on their trouble-plagued flight from London to Australia. Also related are some of the more spectacular failures, some of which surpass the successes in terms of sheer adventure. For the armchair pilot, there is no better history of the early milestones of flight, and the men and women who flew them. LOWELL THOMAS was a longtime broadcaster for CBS radio, and the author of With Lawrence in Arabia. He was a bush and glacier pilot in Alaska. LOWELL
THOMAS JR. has taken part in some twenty expeditions. He is a mountaineer, a
bush and glacier pilot, an author, a motion picture producer, and is active
in political affairs. |

von Hünefeld, E.G. Freiherr: Mein Ostasienflug Hühnefeld
war Organisator, Finanzier und Besatzungsmitglied auf der ersten
Atlantiküberquerung im Flugzeug von Ost nach West im Frühjahr 1928 gewesen.
Gleich nach diesem Rekordflug organisierte er den hier beschriebenen
Rekordflug nach Tokio, der noch 1928 vom 18.9. Bis zum 18.10. durchgeführt
wurde. Insgesamt wurden 14.250 km Flugstrecke zurückgelegt. Die Besatzung
bestand aus von Hühnefeld, dem Chefpiloten der schwedischen Junkerswerke,
K.G. Lindner, sowie dem Monteur Paul Lengerich. Die Maschine war die
"Europa" (D 1198) eine Junkers W33, die Schwestermaschine der
"Bremen", die 1928 den Atlantik überquert hatte. Von Hühnefeld
starb wenige Monate nach dem Tokioflug in Deutschland an den Folgen einer
Erkrankung. Die Fertigstellung dieses Buches erlebte er nicht mehr. Das Buch
erhält Nachrufe seiner Piloten von 1928 (Köhl und Fitzmaurice "To my
dear comrade") sowie von K.G. Lindner. |

Walker, Mike: Powder Puff Derby idea as dames in planes? Worse, dames racing planes 2,700 miles from California to Cleveland. One reporter reckoned that far from finding the finishing line, the 'girls' would have trouble finding somewhere to powder their noses. He was wrong and one sunny day in 1929 nineteen young women set out to prove it. The planes were primitive and the navigational equipment non-existent. Half the time, the pilots followed railway lines across the prairies, or arrows painted on barn roofs - and yet, despite crashes, sabotage and storms, they made it and encouraged women everywhere to demand the same freedom and independence that flying had given them. Careless of their own safety and the prejudice of male pilots, they strove to break new records. They became stars and, in the spirit of the age, flew for the sheer
joy of it, blazing a vapour trail that future generations of women would
follow into the wide blue yonder. |

Zuk, Bill: Avrocar - Canada's Flying Saucer Travel back in time to the paranoid days of the Cold War, when fear of invasion by Communists and aliens from other planets seemed almost equally plausible. This remarkable book - the result of 30 years of research - shows North American-made flying saucers in various stages of production and in actual test flights. Astonishing U.S. military illustrations from the period reveal the saucers' intended use in combat.
A
leading authority on Canadian aviation, author Bill Zuk is Canada's resident
Avrocar "saucer" expert and leads the battle to "Bring
Canada's Flying Saucer Home." (Two survive in U.S. museums.) |
