Description du livre Softcover. Etat : Good. First Edition. First impression. Size: Octavo 8vo (standard book size). 296 pages. Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Pages are lightly toned throughout. All edges clean, neat and free of foxing. The book has been read and it may have some creases but is sound overall. The book is available and will be PACKAGED professionally, DISPATCHED promptly and a TRACKING NUMBER will be advised by Australia Post. Maynard dives headfirst into the controversy surrounding Richard Byrd's record-setting flight over the North Pole and the two men who flew against him in this intriguing look back at the golden age of air exploration. While giving Byrd and Roald Amundsen their due, Maynard is primarily concerned with the long-overlooked career of their contemporary, explorer/scientist George Hubert Wilkins. Maynard uncovers the obstructions to biographers, reveals how greed and pettiness can trample a man's legacy afer his death, delves deeply into Wilkins' extraordianry polar accomplishments, and places him squarely in the midst of the last great air race. From planes to dirigibles to submarines, Wings of Ice has more than enough excitement for a novel, even as Maynard's reliance on diaries, journals, and letters is evident in his extensive chapter notes. While Byrd fans will likely not appreciate this perspective, it is clear questions must be asked. Most significantly, Maynard returns Wilkins to a stage he once dominated. We shouldn't have forgotten him; how nice it is to have the great man back. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Exploration; 1920s; Aviation. ISBN: .
