“The two linked novels in this book, never before published, were written by Nevil Shute in the middle 1920’s, when as a young man he was working in the aircraft industry.  Flying is the theme of both and they reveal at once that golden seam of narrative genius which was to make Shute the top-selling novelist of our times.”
