Ride the Wind: USA to Africa
The 1992 Chrysler Transatlantic Challenge put five teams representing five countries into identical Cameron Roziere balloons for a race across the Atlantic Ocean. The American team, pilots Troy Bradley and Richard Abruzzo and crew chief David Melton did not win the race- they finished fourth. Had the German team not ditched at sea, they might have finished last. Team USA missed Europe entirely, but in doing so became the first balloon to travel from the U.S. to Africa. Along the way, they set 24 other national and world records.
Ride the Wind records the story of the U.S. team from their selection as pilots, through their preparation leading to the launch, the rigors of the flight, and finally the landing in Morocco. Drawing from journals the pilots kept, fax transmissions, and remembered quotes by the pilots and crew, Hillerman leads us through an exciting chain of events. At the same time, she gives us personal insights into the men who faced the Challenge, helping us to feel as if we know each one of them.
Balloon Life Magazine said: "Written in a very readable style, Hillerman has produced a book that is enjoyable for adult readers with a knowledge of ballooning, but also an exciting book for young people. She goes to great pains to define terms unique to ballooning. Every teenager with even a hint of interest in the excitement of ballooning should read this book, as should his parents."
