Description

Between the two world wars, free ballooning was practiced for sport and science. Each year aeronauts (lighter-than-air pilots) from the United States and Europe would compete in an international race to determine who could fly the farthest. The U.S. Navy eagerly participated in these events, and one of its officers, Thomas G. W. Tex Settle, would become world famous for his wins. The only airman in his time qualified to pilot a free balloon, blimp, glider, and airplane, and to command a rigid airship, Settle was also the first American to fly a pressurized cabin into the stratosphere. This book tells the story of Settle and Navy ballooning during the Golden Age of Flight against the backdrop of the American naval airship program.
