A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

In this tense and often moving narrative, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones, the pilots of the Breitling Orbiter 3 balloon, tell the remarkable story of their record-breaking round the world flight in March 1999, one of the great feats of human endurance.

À propos de l?auteur

Brian Jones is a 53-year-old grandfather who was responsible for the construction of the gondola and flight systems of the balloon. He was the co-pilot in the Breitling Orbiter 3. Bertrand Piccard is a Swiss doctor who was the pilot in all three Breitling Orbiter attempts. His grandfather was the first man to fly to the stratosphere in a balloon, while his father was the first man to go to the deepest part of the ocean.
