Description

On July 10, 1938, Howard Hughes and his crew of four set a world record by completing a flight around the world in just 91 hours (3 days, 19 hours, 17 minutes). Taking off from New York City, they continued to Paris, Moscow, Omsk, Yakutsk, Fairbanks, Minneapolis, and continue to New York City. They flew a Lockheed Super Electra (a twin-engine transport) fitted with all of the latest radio and navigational equipment. Hughes wanted the flight to be a triumph of technology, illustrating that safe, long-distance air travel was possible. In this candid, never before published diary of the record breaking flight, written by Hughes' co-pilot and navigator (the late Thomas Thurlow), experience what it was like to be in the cockpit and work alongside Howard Hughes. Hear how Hughes and his crew of four overcame obstacles both in the air and on the ground in this race against time. None of the original text of the diary was changed and it is exactly as Lt. Thurlow wrote it soon after completing the flight in 1938"--P. 4 of cover.
