Description
LAST PLANE OUT is a novel about planes and the men who fly them because there is nothing that they would rather do - nothing as important, as meaningful, as richly rewarding.
And LAST PLANE OUT is an exciting and topical and moving story about the pilots themselves : the Captain, commander of a U.S. Army Transport Command C - 54 Douglas, en route from Rome to Miami via Casablanca, the last plane out of the war - a man not to be grounded. Jennings, the heroic survivor of a terrifying crash of a Convair passenger plane twenty years later, an accountant who has lived most of his fifty years with his eyes turned to the skies and has pinned all his hopes on the wings he may on day wear. This is their story ...
( ... ) This honest and exciting novel will endear the author to thousands readers - those who are fascinated by the mystique of flying ; those who feel that virtue, at least once in a while, ought to triumph ; and those who simply like a very good story.
