Nonfiction Book Club: Into Unknown Skies- An Unlikely Team, A Daring Race, and The First Flight Around the World by David K. Randall

Equal parts The Right Stuff and The Boys in the Boat, [this book] tells the unbelievable history of the 1924 race to circumnavigate the globe for the first time by air, a nail-biting contest that pitted underdog US pilots against their better-funded European rivals, created technology that changed aviation, and convinced America that its future was in the sky.
