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.
