This is the story about Jimmie Angel, the pilot who discovered the world's highest waterfall in 1933. Jimmie Angel took on flying at the age of fifteen and flew in Europe during the First World War. He commanded five planes in China, was a barnstormer for a while and from his home in North America he undertook endurance flights and explorations. His most important explorations have taken place in the Gran Sabana in Venezuela, one of the most impressive places in the world. Jimmie Angel was convinced he would find gold here, if only he could land his plane above the Angel Falls, on top of the Auyan Tepui, or Devil Mountain.
