A Morane Flight to Khartoum by Marc Pourpe
An aviator narrative chronicles Marc Pourpe and Lufbery in a perilous Nile region voyage from Cairo to Khartoum. The Morane pilot lands on a Nile sandbar after engine trouble, is hosted by a local mamour, ferried by boats and camels, and later completes a long aerial journey toward Mareilles and Paris with Pourpe’s persistence and hazard.
