"The Flying Carpet" was Halliburton's fourth and most famous book and details his epic adventures flying a bi-plane through remote parts of the globe. The resultant work doesn't have a dull page. It details how Halliburton landed in Timbuktu, passed over Mount Everest, flew over the Taj Mahal upside down, and dropped down into the jungles of Borneo to visit with native head hunters. If one book could summarize all the reckless love of life and romance that symbolized Richard Halliburton, then this is the book.
