With the assistance of award-winning journalist Lew Freedman, Thomas speaks of climbing an Alaskan mountain at age sixteen, flying around the world on his honeymoon, meeting the fourteen-year-old Dalai Lama, and much more. His lifetime of accomplishments, exploration, and appreciation for nature's beauty make for a thoroughly engaging and inspirational true story, highly recommended.” —James A.

FLIGHT TO ADVENTURE: ALASKA AND BEYOND. The title rings with the same wide-eyed excitement as many of the previous books written by Lowell and Tay since they were married in 1950. The pages inside reveal the extraordinary life Lowell, Jr. has led and the important role Tay has played as his partner in adventure.\" —Anthony Wellman, 2014 edition of The Dutch Treat Club Annual Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  About the Authors\u003cbr\u003e  Introduction                                                                            \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 1   Flight to Adventure                                                 \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 2   Early Life                                                            \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 3   First Adventure                                                   \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 4   Welcome to Alaska                                            \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 5   College and the Military                                          \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 6   Going to Work                                                   \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 7   To the Forbidden Roof of the World                \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 8   With the Dalai Lama in Lhasa                           \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 9   Life and Death on the Tibetan Trail              \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 10  Two Lifetime Passions: Tay and Flying         \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 11  Around the World                                            \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 12  Welcome to Africa                                           \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 13  The Rwenzori Mountains, the Congo, and Kenya\u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 14  Into the Desert                                                   \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 15  With the Nomads                                               \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 16  North to Alaska                                                  \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 17  Earthquake                                                           \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 18  Flying Alaska                                                       \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 19  Around the World a New Way                           \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 20  Politics and Conservation                                   \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 21 Skiing                                                                    \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 22 Mount McKinley Flight Adventures                    \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 23 Flying Another Soloist                                          \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 24 To Russia with Love                                            \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 25 Flying into the Sunset                                          \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  Sources\u003cbr\u003e  Index","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359270633815,"sku":"9780882409146","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780882409146.jpg?v=1754124165","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/lowell-thomas-jr-flight-to-adventure-alaska-and-beyond-9780882409146","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
