Booklist features a review of Norman Finkelstein's Three Across in its September 1, 2008 issue: “Framing the story in a way that should enthrall any sports fan, Finkelstein traces the rise of aviation from Kitty Hawk to the 1927 Orteig Prize, a $25,000 award for the first person to fly nonstop across the Atlantic. This book focuses on the first three flights to pull it off: the Spirit of St. Louis, piloted by an unknown Charles Lindbergh; the Columbia, led by ambitious shyster Charles A. Levine; and the America, boasting Artic explorer Richard E. Byrd at the controls." |
