Attempting to cross Africa from east to west by air, claiming to fly over the dangerous black continent in its greatest breadth aboard a fragile gondola exposed to all the whims of the winds, was, in Jules Verne's time, an incredibly audacious undertaking. As one might expect, the five weeks it will take Dr. Fergusson and his two companions to achieve this will be full of unforeseen events and adventures.
