Around The World In A Balloon
Two Dutchmen and a Dutch woman intend to try to fly round the world in a balloon. They are Mr and .Mrs Boesman and Mr De Vos Klootwijk. They decided to attempt the trip after receiving invitations from many parts of the world to give balloon demonstrations. The flight is expected to start in October and last at least six months. It is believed to be the first attempt of its kind. The three made a successful balloon journey over Indonesia last year.
