The Vimy Expeditions tells the story of a spirited group of individuals who devoted large chunks of their lives and livelihoods to rebuilding the mammoth Vickers F.B.27 Vimy biplane of 1919 and then seeing the world from her open cockpit. Initiated in 1992 by Peter McMillan and Lang Kidby, the Vimy project sought to inspire a new generation of explorers by reenacting the trailblazing Vimy flights of 1919 and 1920 - the first nonstop crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, the aerial voyage from England to Australia, and the first flight from England to South Africa. National Geographic chronicled the episodes, which enabled the creation of this remarkable visual journal. Hundreds of magnificent photographs bring to life these thrilling journeys across time and distance. This is your chance to climb into the open cockpit and see the world, both as it is and as it once was. Experience the adventure of a lifetime through the pages of The Vimy Expeditions.
