Throw out Two Hands by Smith. Anthony,

 Hard back book with colour pictorial dust jacket, 272 pages, 25 chapters illustrated with colour plates and line drawings. Appendices on balloon photography and balloon lift calculations.

Anthony Smith and his companions realized their dreams to float over the great continent of Africa in a balloon, to observe the massive herds of wild life below, to explore the uses of such a superb vantage point -

but only just. Hazards hit them with fearful regularity. Ropes snapped, thunderclouds loomed, storms blew, sudden downpours came with their renowned African swiftness. Even on land the animals provided their share of adventure: the rhinoceros that charged them at one spot every day, the lions of the Serengeti that wandered through their camp, and the huge herds that grazed round about them all the time.
This book is packed with anecdotes and excitement, with a strong affection for the animals and the land they live in, with all the joys and perils of resuscitating 'that superb creation of man's inventiveness - the balloon', and numerous splendid photographs.
