Inhaltsangabe:
They could no longer be the first to climb Everest, reach the North and South Poles, sail around the globe, but they could be the first to fly around the world in a balloon - and they were. Written by the pilots, this is the account of their epic success. They describe the difficulties they faced and overcame during this feat of endurance.
Über die Autorinnen und Autoren:

Bertrand Piccard is a Swiss doctor who was the pilot in all three Breitling Orbiter attempts. His grandfather was the first man to fly to the stratosphere in a balloon, while his father was the first man to go to the deepest part of the ocean.
