The Authorised Biography

Adolf Galland

A non-stop flight across the Atlantic might seem routine today. But it is only possible because of those who went first. 'Capturing not only the perils faced by the intrepid airmen who attempted the flight, but also their humanity' JOHN LANCASTER, author of The Great Air RaceNewfoundland, 1919. Buffeted by winds, an unwieldy aircraft struggled to take to the air. Cramped side by side in its open cockpit were two men, freezing cold, but resolute. They had a dream: to be the first in human history to fly, non-stop, across the Atlantic Ocean. But there were three other teams competing against them . . . The young aviators who would get off the ground had already defied death many times during World War One. David Rooney's evocative and deeply researched account shows how it was their thrilling wartime experiences that ultimately led them to the 'Big Hop', and brought old friends together for one more daring adventure. These Atlantic pioneers weren't scientists or upper-class officers. They were ordinary men, risking their lives in the name of progress, who ultimately ushered in the age of global connection in which we live now. 'Fabulous ... Works on every level, balancing technological know-how with superb characterisation' JACKY HYAMS, author of Hurricane: The Plane that Won the War

Tales of High Adventure from the Golden Age of Aviation

Captain de Havilland's Moth

“Thrilling . . . With deep research and suspenseful storytelling, Mr. Randall reminds us that America’s pre-eminence in the aviation industry was never assured and that it took a race of unlikely heroes to bring the dream of world flight to the public imagination.”—Wall Street Journal“David K. Randall has conjured the first air race to circumnavigate the globe in all its death-defying glory, featuring a cast of unlikely heroes who had the right stuff before anyone knew what that was.” —&nbsp;Mitchell Zuckoff,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;Lost in Shangri-La&nbsp;and&nbsp;13 Hours“Thrilling reading...an account filled with unexpected layers of intrigue. Recommend Into Unknown Skies to Erik Larson fans.” —BooklistThe unbelievable history of the 1924 race to circumnavigate the globe for the first time by air, a nail-biting contest that pitted underdog US pilots against their better-funded European rivals, created technology that changed aviation, and convinced America that its future was in the sky.&nbsp;In the early 1920s, America’s faith in aviation was in shambles. Twenty years after the Wright Brothers’ first flight, most Americans believed airplanes were for delivering the mail or performing daredevil stunts in front of crowds. The dream of commercial air travel remained just that. Even the American military was a skeptic—rather than pay to bring its planes back from Europe following World War I, the War Department chose to burn most of them instead.&nbsp;All that changed with a single race in 1924. It was not just any race, though—it was a race to become the first to circle the globe in an airplane, pitting a team of underdog American pilots against the best aviators in the world from England, Italy, Portugal, France, and Argentina. Rooted in the same daring spirit that pushed early twentieth-century explorers to attempt crossings of the Antarctic ice or locate the source of the Nile, this race was an adventure unlike anything the world had seen before. The obstacles were daunting—from experimental planes, to dangerous landings in uncharted territory, to the simple navigational gauges that could lead pilots hundreds of miles off course. Failure seemed all but guaranteed—the suspense less about who would win than how many would perish for the honor of being the first.Now on the race’s centennial, award-winning author David K. Randall tells the story of this riveting, long-forgotten race. Through larger-than-life characters, treacherous landings, disease, and ultimately triumph,&nbsp;Into Unknown Skies&nbsp;demonstrates how one race returned America to aviation greatness. A story of underdog teammates, bold exploration, and American ingenuity,&nbsp;Into Unknown Skies&nbsp;is an untold adventure tale showing the power of flight to bring the world together.

Into Unknown Skies

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLERRead the legendary story of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft, seen through the eyes of former RAF captain Scott Bateman'An engaging and revealing read' JOHN NICHOL'An action-packed insider's account of what it's like to fly this legendary flying machine in peace and war' KeyAero.com--Take wing with an unsung hero . . . Hercules is the hero of the skies we never talk about. First to land in any combat zone and last out, the Hercules always unflashily gets the job done - whether that's a risky air drop or hauling out troops in an emergency evac. Also working as an aerial tanker, gunship, spyplane, air-sea rescuer and even a precision bomber, its versatility has time and again seen the Hercules give the RAF their edge - from Antarctica to Iraq, Afghanistan to the Falklands. Captain Scott Bateman drags us into the cockpit and buckles us in for an extraordinary pilot's seat view of this aircraft's 50-year history. Anytime. Anywhere. Anyhow.
