...What more glorious centenary celebration can there be than this, especially at a time when celebrating centenaries has become fashionable and many events of limited importance are honored with celebrations? ... It will be of great benefit, especially as the world then will not hear only about conflicts, disarmaments, reparations, debts, debt postponements, defaults, economic and financial crises and individual and social miseries . . . but instead those of high spirituality and strong appeal to life and the interests of the souls...

His books (The Royal Road to Romance, The Glorious Adventure, New Worlds to Conquer) have sold more than 250,000 copies, not counting $1 reprints. In his Wright-powered Stearman biplane, The Flying Carpet, piloted by one Moye Stephens, Halliburton rode leisurely from London to Manila.
