Book Review: An Indepth study of an ingenious and complicated individual
Summary: 4 Stars
Like many of my generation, we are aware of the name and certainly of the legend but perhaps don't fully appreciate how this small plane's journey from 1 continent to another could have had such an impact on the history of aviation. A journey that we now take for granted was a triumph for man and machine which made the unimaginable seem possible in an era of great change, especially with the approaching 2nd World War which speeded up the progress of aviation by several years. It is a fantastic book, which creates the atmosphere of the 1920's and what his flight meant to the ordinary people who lined the streets aswell as the Royal Kings and Queens of Europe who invited him to their respective countries. It is an exciting story of a true hero without the sentimental failings of many biography's and what comes across is an thorough insight into extremely complex character.
