The author’s story of his attempt to be the first Australian born pilot to fly solo around the world. 100 full colour photographs (mostly taken from aeroplane during flight). Here is Peter Norvill’s account of his 23,000 mile solo round-the-world-flight in a fixed-wing aircraft (a Cessna fitted with long-range fuel tanks), flying East to West. As planned, his 35-day trip ended in Brisbane on June 9th at 10.13am – precisely 60 years to the day of the first Pacific air crossing by Kingsford Smith in the Southern Cross. pp. xvi, 159 (Prev ownership on fep) #0119 First Edition
