About This Item
UK: Sandstone Press, 2011. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 9.2 x 6.3 x 1 inches. To Ride the Mountain Winds, possibly the first history of aerial mountaineering to span the whole period from the 18th century to the present day, is written for everyone interested in the history of mountaineering and also those interested in the history of aviation and the limits to which pilots have pushed their machines and their skills. This should include not only climbers and flyers but also those airline passengers who, while sipping a gin and tonic in the luxury of a modern airliner, far above the shining snows, have paused to wonder what might happen if their jet-propelled magic carpet were forced suddenly to descend among them. Few will have pondered the connections between the histories of mountaineers and aviators but their interaction is almost as old as either. Complete with a magnificent plate section including 14 classic images from pioneering days and 26 beautiful color images of more recent times.
