"On April 17, 2000, Gus McLeod circled the geographic North Pole in a 60-year-old, open-cockpit biplane, a goal that had eluded aviation pioneers for a century and the climax of a two-year adventure of harrowing physical, mechanical, and natural challenges." "Called crazy and worse, the irrepressible McLeod formed a team that included a car mechanic, a chase pilot who had just earned his license, and an historic 1939 Stearman trainer held together through the most extreme conditions on earth with duct tape, jerry-rigged ingenuity, and snow-blind faith. Readers will shake their heads in disbelief, cry and laugh out loud as McLeod and his troupe of quipping, quarreling characters bounce from scrapes with deadly disaster, to soaring triumphs, to side-splitting encounters with a revolving cast of eskimos, renegades, and bush pilots awaiting them at each stop on Canada's frozen tundra." "With death only a blast of frigid wind or a gallon of bad gas away, McLeod learns life-transforming lessons about the importance of family, friends, and self-identity."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
