He then set off on a rather different journey: to become the first person to fly solo around the world in an amphibious plane. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith limited flying experience, no support team and only basic instruments in his tiny flying boat, the Southern Sun, Smith risked his life to make modern aviation history.
