Wings Across the Pacific tells the epic struggle of the generation of pilots who made the dream of crossing the Pacific, a reality. The feats of Lindbergh and others who crossed the Atlantic have been more celebrated. But the Pacific was to flying what Everest was to mountain climbing: the biggest, most implacable, most irresistible challenge on earth. To fly the Pacific meant aiming for tiny islands amid seventy million square miles of ocean, and the slightest mechanical failure - or error of judgment - could mean a watery grave. Amelia Earhart is only one of many who vanished into the Pacific without a trace.[AuthorName]By (author) Terry Gwynn-Jones[/AuthorName][AuthorBio][/AuthorBio][NumIllustration][/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle][/SubTitle][ColorPattern][/ColorPattern]
