The Balloonists' Own Epic Tale of Their Round-the-World Voyage

In March 1999, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones accomplished one of the great feats of human endurance: they were the first men to fly non-stop round the world in a balloon.

Their Breitling Orbiter 3 balloon took twenty days to circle the globe, from Chateau d'Oex in Switzerland to the deserts of Egypt, breaking all previous records and placing Piccard and Jones firmly in the history books. They faced many problems that could have brought the balloon crashing to earth. Yet their courage and determination to succeed carried them on to victory.

Their epic account relives many moments of high tension and drama as they bring their historic journey vividly to life. The flight was a triumph not only of technology but of the human spirit and will be an inspiration to anyone contemplating their own greatest adventure.
