Winged conquerors of the Arctic
14.99 €
Humanity began conquering the Arctic a long time ago, but only the advent of aircraft offered hope for significantly accelerating the achievement of these goals. However, balloons and airships failed to live up to these expectations, and only heavier-than-air vehicles—airplanes—provided a reliable basis for truly conquering the Arctic. This book recounts the history of the first Arctic flights: Chukhnovsky's to Novaya Zemlya, Lukht and E. M. Koshelev's to Wrangel Island, Kalvits's along the shores of the Arctic Ocean, and many other aerial adventures of that era. It is intended for a general readership.
