This is what started the whole drama. When a 767 runs out of fuel mid flight there is no longer any fuel to run the controls. The pilot had to use sheer skill to glide this large passenger aircraft into the airport in Gimli Manitoba with no loss of life. That plane became forever known as the Gimli Glider. .

Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; B&W and Colour Illustrations; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 320 pages; "The invention of the aeroplane was both the realization of an age-old human fantasy and a portent of a great new future. This book - a cultural history of the pioneering phase of aviation - tells the story of the ways in which powered flight captured the imagination of writers artists and intellectuals and helped to shape new visions of the world. Prize-winning historian Robert Wohl describes the colourful early aeronauts: the brilliant taciturn Wilbur Wright who arrived in France to demonstrate his invention to a sceptical audience and soon became their idol; Alberto Santos-Dumont a Brazilian expatriate and dandy who delighted the Parisian public by landing his dirigible in front of his house on the Champs-Elysees; and Louis Bleriot the first man to fly across the English Channel. He then looks at responses to the development of the flying machine by such writers and artists as H.G. Wells Emile Driant Franz Kafka Gabriele D'Annunzio Edmond Rostand F.T. Marinetti Vasily Kamensky Kazimir Malevich and Robert Delaunay showing how the responses ranged from celebration of flight to dire warnings of its military implications. Finally he explores the creation of the flying ace the knights-errant of the sky analyzing how such men as Roland Garros Oswald Boelcke Manfred von Richthofen and Georges Guynemer became famous how they came to terms with their deadly pursuit and how they were mythologised after their deaths. Generously illustrated with rare photographs drawings paintings and posters the book evokes an era of pride power and endless possibility when the sky first became a new frontier." .

Four days later the B-17 assigned to the search-and-rescue mission became lost in a blinding storm and also crashed. Miraculously all nine men on board survived and the US military launched a daring rescue operation. But after picking up one man the Grumman Duck amphibious plane flew into a severe storm and vanished. Frozen in Time tells the story of these crashes and the fate of the survivors bringing vividly to life their battle to endure 148 days of the brutal Arctic winter until an expedition headed by famed Arctic explorer Bernt Balchen brought them to safety. Mitchell Zuckoff takes the reader deep into the most hostile environment on earth through hurricane-force winds vicious blizzards and subzero temperatures. Moving forward to today he recounts the efforts of the Coast Guard and North South Polar Inc. – led by indefatigable dreamer Lou Sapienza – who worked for years to solve the mystery of the Duck’s last flight and recover the remains of its crew." .
