An excellent collection, with varied interest within the brackets of the wide field of flying. There are straight adventure stories, fiction with authentic background, factual stories of the present war, stories of commercial fliers, of gliders, of the RAF, of training, of personnel problems, of navy sea scouts, tests of courage, dangers of foolhardiness, jinx ships, radio, ferry piloting, parachute jumps; there are known names and newcomers. And the level of interest is high throughout.
