In the tradition of great adventuring spirit, The Flight of the Small World chronicles one of the most audacious balloon voyages ever attempted — the 1958 transatlantic crossing aboard the Small World, a small helium balloon carrying Arnold Eiloart, his son Tim, Peter Elstob, and Colin Mudie from the Canary Islands toward the Americas. This gripping first-hand account details the extraordinary planning, the harrowing days adrift above the open Atlantic, and the sheer human determination required to push the boundaries of what technology and courage could achieve in the late 1950s.
