An oil leak aboard Chicago nearly did that plane in, but Arnold manually pumped oil through her engines for four hours to keep her airborne. He claimed his effort was “nothing at all."
From this story I am reminded that the milestones and accomplishments are most achieved by countries that are free and offer their citizens the opportunity to take risks to explore, experiment invent and innovate. This is part of what makes America great!
Thank you Tara for another fascinating story of American adventure and danger. To circumnavigate the world in such relatively rudimentary and open air cockpits was astonishing to me. There is a first time for everything and the army achieved it first this time.
Thanks for the add to your book giveaway. I already purchased one copy to give to our local Literacy Center.
A GREAT ending to another GREAT historical lesson! Brave men risking their all!!
Thank you Tara!
Wow. A chew your nails type of a story. But continue they did. Must have been on a wing and a prayer. Thank you Ms. Tara Ross. For this engaging story
Thanks for all your work. This another forgotten history about some really brave men on an epic adventure of early aviation.
A great story of brave men and their determination to advance the future of Aviation.
