With limited flying experience, no support team and only basic
instruments in his tiny flying boat, the Southern Sun, Smith risked
his life to make modern aviation history. His adventures include an
unexpected greeting by Special Branch on his arrival in the UK, a
near-death experience while leaving Greenland, and a wondrous
journey up the Mississippi. In just seven months he made eighty
stops around the globe, exploring twenty-five cities and
communities, and visiting some seventy cinemas. All along the way
Smith updated his online journal, cheered on by 50,000
followers.
