Contact seller3-star seller6/25/16. Author, (1937). 6/25/16. 4to. (6), 269 pp. b/w maps. Two Yalies, one of them the scion of the Upjohn pharma empire, fly around the world in Upjohn's seaplane. The logistics and international permissions necessary for this five month trip must have been formidable, and could only have been accomplished by persons of priv…ilege and wealth. However, this is not to downplay the riskiness of the adventure, which took place only seven years after Lindberg's epic transatlantic flight. In a way, this account reminds me of nothing so much as the journals of wealthy young yachtsmen fifty years before. The authors are keen on technical details and radio jargon, but punctuate their narratives with interludes such as, "Succeeded in bumming some Chesterfield cigarettes; my supply has been low ever since it was politely raided by the young ladies of Kerertarssaurak." Upjohn distributed this self published account to friends and, judging by the number of ex-lib copies on the market, to a great many libraries. This is one of the rare copies NOT from a library. Very good condition in original black cloth binding with gold spine lettering.
