| Meer info | One of 1000 copies. Illustrated with photographs by Robert D. Huntington, and a map by Sisson. The spine of the book is damaged (see photo) but otherwise the book is in very excellent condition! A detailed account of a 25-day flight around South America taken by Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt, another couple, one pilot and one mechanic, in a Sikorsky S-43 amphibian with twin 750 hp engines, additional gas tanks to permit the plane to remain in the air for eight hours, and a number of luxurious armchairs “the only ones of this kind yet installed in a plane”. Vanderbilt, one of America's most distinquished yachtsmen, seemed unable to go anywhere without producing an illustrated account of his journeys, complete, in this case, with technical information (amount of gas used, number of oil changes, etc.) for those who might wish to make such a trip themselves. More to the point, perhaps, is the author's lively narrative, and some excellent photographs of the Andes and elsewhere, many taken by himself. Vanderbilt had 1000 copies privately printed as give-aways to family, friends and business. |
