«The Greatest Adventure» is the account of Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones's round-the-world balloon flight, in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones recount how, in March 1999, they took off from Switzerland in the Breitling Orbiter 3 and, after twenty days and some 29,000 miles, landed in Egypt: the first round-the-world balloon flight. The book covers the development of the aircraft, the extreme cold, the gondola, and the technical problems in flight.
