The name of Sir Alan Cobham pervades the whole of British civil aviation in the 1920s and 1930s and this book covers the overseas aspects of his work. The author has put together all the threads of long-distance flying across the Atlantic and to the extremities of the British Empire - the survey flights, the various record-breaking attempts by the likes of Jim & Amy Mollison, CWA Scott and Alex Henshaw as well as the many other flights undertaken simply by adventurers or publicity-seekers.
