Steve Fossett

The Autobiography of Steve Fossett

In 2005, just two years before his untimely death in a plane crash, Steve Fossett completed the first solo, non-stop, non-refuelled circumnavigation of the world at the helm of the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer. But what made someone like Steve give up a secure, wellpaid job for the romantic, yet dangerous world of the adventurer?<br/>
<br/>
His adventurous spirit has piqued the intrigue of his fellow competitors and sports aficionados, and attracted the notice of the world.<br/>
<br/>
Written just one year before his tragic death in 2007, in this dynamic autobiography Steve Fossett shares his inspirational stories in a personal, intimate voice and candidly recounts the milestones, challenges and victories that have made up his much-heralded career and paved the way to his 109 world records.
