About this listen

A series of chance incidents diverted Bruce Comstock from a career in teaching economics into a life of ballooning adventures. Not content with just enjoying flying with friends, for the following 35 years he won championships, guided the early development of the sport, resurrected Ballooning Magazine, set world records, built a major balloon manufacturing company, created the autopilot that made possible the first solo nonstop balloon flight around the world, and made many remarkable balloon flights.

What the critics say

"Never before has there been such a book, so honest and so revealing of one man's passion for aerostation. Happy, humble, joyous, contrite, proud, and enthusiastic, it will surely stimulate others just as he was immediately converted by the sight, no more and no less, of one airborne balloon, a road to Damascus event that has never let him go." (Anthony Smith, adventurer, explorer, and best-selling author)
