Book Trailer for 'Round the World & Across Russia in 21 Days, 30 Years Later' by Michael B. Butler

In July 1992, only months after the Soviet Union collapsed, 12 small private planes flew 17,500 miles around the world while crossing the entire landmass of Russia in 21 days. Russian VP Alexander Rutskoi, hero of the ill-fated August Coup of 1991 with Yeltsin, was their benefactor and the author of the book also documented the entire event. The book is constructed from seven major pilot journals, five ancillary journals and the 25 hours of video tape shot during the trip. This is a trip through history on a grueling aviation adventure where tragedy stalked the brave aviators and participants.
