When I first met Bertrand and Brian many years ago they re-enforced a vision in me to strive to new heights in my profession work and personal life, but by example never elevate yourself above the people that need your help! Strive to new heights in 2020! The story (Book) Around the World in 20 Days: The gripping story of the history-making the first-ever around-the-world balloon flight in March 1999 as told by the pilots themselves. BERTRAND PICCARD is a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry. He comes from a family of scientific explorers. BRIAN JONES spent thirteen years with England?s Royal Air Force and is now the United Kingdom?s chief flying instructor.
