Drawn from thirty years of research, a fascinating portrait of Wiley Post, the pilot who circled the earth alone in a single-engine plane, recreates his life, from his poverty-stricken childhood in Texas to a brief career in armed robbery that sent him to jail in 1921, to his mysterious death, and details how he overcame many challenges and obstacles to become a parachute jumper, stunt pilot, barnstormer, and record-setting aviator.
