ABOUT
Sir Alan Cobham's account of his flight round Africa in 1929 in a flying-boat.
Air-route development in Africa was a direct result of Sir Alan Cobham's 1929 flight that began in France and crossing the Mediterranean, the route was via Malta, Egypt, East Africa through Kenya and Nyasaland, from Beira to Lagos, across to the Ivory Coast, from Freetown to Cape Bojador and through the Canaries, essentially navigating most of the coast of Africa. Lady Cobham accompanied her husband throughout the long journey, in so doing establishing a record for air travel by a woman. This Sir Alan Cobham's first-hand account of his journey.
