Ghazi of Iraq - The Flying Carpet

The Flying Carpet

When the Prince was a school boy he was taken for a biplane ride by Moye Stephens, pilot of The Flying Carpet and Richard Halliburton, traveller-adventurist, during their round-the-world flight, shortly after Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight. An account of young prince Ghazi's experience flying over his country can be found in Richard Halliburton's The Flying Carpet.

Famous quotes containing the words flying and/or carpet:

    Dreams pursue death as winds a flying fire,
    Our dreams pursue our dead and do not find.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    A wind has started a little whirlpool
    of sand where the carpet ought to be,
    and shells lie
    by the preposterous feet
    of that woman who frets me, annihilates me,
    O she will kill me yet.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
