Publisher's Synopsis
Arctic explorer and American visionary Walter Wellman pioneered both polar and trans-Atlantic airship aviation, making history's first attempts at each. Wellman has been cast as a selfpromoting egomaniac known mostly for his failures. Instead he was a courageous innovator who pushed the boundaries of polar exploration and paved the way for the ultimate conquest of the North Pole by airship. 'Realm of Ice and Sky' is author Buddy Levy's thrilling narrative of polar exploration via airship - and the men who sacrificed everything to make history.
