Corsairville: The Lost Domain of the Flying Boat: The Last Domain of the Flying Boat [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa dura

The hint of an obscure legend involving the salvage of a flying boat in a corner of the Belgian Congo set Coster on this quest. His journey started in Southampton, from where Imperial Airways' Empire boats left for Britain's far-flung Dominions, and took him through Africa - down the Nile, through Uganda, Kenya and Malawi, from Lake Naivasha to Victoria Falls. He also travelled on the last passenger flying boats, 50-year-old Mallards and Gooses that took him to idyllic Caribbean islands and wild bays in Alaska, taking off in a whirl of spray and touching down with a thrilling whomph! More than a travel book, this is a remarkable piece of secret history, and a journey to a vanished age when air travel could truly change your life.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
