Beryl Markham was the 1st woman to fly solo across the North Atlantic, and the first person to do it east-west. She crash-landed in Baleine Cove, C. Breton, near my brother's home. I'd like to see that.

In 1970, Yuichiro Miura became the first person to ski down part of Everest. The film about the feat won the Academy Award for best foreign film.

Today he is 92.
