The book is an impressive account of twelve intrepid aviators who piloted their airplanes on an odyssey around the world in 1992. The group, among the first given permission to cross Russia after the end of the Cold War, left Santa Monica, California on July 4th for a journey filled with unimaginable excitement. The book is more than a diary. The true adventure, full of suspense both in the air and on the ground, chronicles the challenges that confronted the diverse group from several countries. The book will appeal to anyone who has even the faintest yearning to see more of this planet we call Earth.
