Anybody recall a book….

…written in the ’60s which was a novel about a pilot from the RFC who flew for Imperial Airways in the ’30s.Well researched too.

A good read but can’t remember the title…anyone got any ideas??

Thanks !

Wasn’t a Shute book but a very readable story. All I can remember, it was about a pilot leaving the RFC and getting into civil aviation in the ’30s with all the trials and tribulations.

Very knowledgeable and could have been a thinly disguised autobiography as it dealt with a few ‘domestic’ issues. Read it about 25 years ago and fairly sure it was published in the ’60s.

Hard cover and a good illustration of a pre war airliner on the cover.

Give us any more of the plot – might it be a Neville Shute story?
