Framing

“Few books have received such high praise as this ever-popular account of air adventure and personal reminiscence by an artist in prose. The author, whose career ended with his disappearance while on a flight over the Mediterranean in the summer of 1944, received the Grand Prix of the Académie Française for this introduction into literature of the airplanes and the men ‘who sail the ocean of the sky.‘”¹
