Disastro al Polo di Wilbur Cross

Il libro narra della seconda spedizione al polo nord di Umberto Nobile sul dirigibile Italia; si legge abbastanza agilmente. Molto interessante scoprire in che condizioni incredibili si svolgevano le esplorazioni ottant'anni fa (la radio era stata inventanta de marconi da poco più di 2 anni, il radar non esisteva, la posizione era determinata usando il sestante, in caso di nebbia impossibile capire dove ci si trovava...).… (altro)
