Double Eagle by Charles McCarry:

• 
  The riveting, true account of the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean by men in a balloon - by all reckonings one of the most extraordinary human adventures of all time. The 1978 voyage of Ben Abruzzo, Maxie Anderson and Larry Newman is a tale of supreme courage, endurance, ingenuity and the all-powerful drive for glory. The trans-Atlantic balloon crossing had defied 16 previous attempts, including Ben and Maxie’s Double Eagle, ( and claimed five lives...) when the trio climbed into the Double Eagle II gondola in August 1978.

9-1/2" by 6-1/2", hardcover w/dj, 278 pages, color photos. Little, Brown and Company, Boston, 1979. Good condition, moderate wear, ex-library.
