A National Geographic magazine, signed by the crew of the Double Eagle II, from the first hot air balloon to cross over the Atlantic Ocean. The crew, made up of Ben Abruzzo, Maxie Anderson, and Larry Newman, signed the magazine in ink on the front side. The copy is in very good condition with some wear on the front cover. Newman, Abruzzo, and Anderson left from near Paris, France, crossed over the Atlantic, and landed in Presque Island, Maine, in August 1978. This was the 14th known attempt to cross the Atlantic and the first one that was a success. The item represents a unique piece of aviation history.
