Description
PREPARE FOR TAKE-OFF ON THE FLIGHT OF A LIFETIME!
Frederick Forsyth, himself author of The Shepherd, one of the greatest flying stories of the century, has selected a magnificent collection of fictional tales by some truly distinguished talents. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Roald Dahl and Edgar Allen Poe are among the unexpected writers in this thrilling anthology.
Others - H.E.Bates, Len Deighton, Captain W.E.Johns, H.G.Wells and J.G.Ballard - have, more predictably, penned timeless stories of the air. There is science fiction too, mystery, horror, even detective fiction, in this, the ultimate flying collection.
