  • Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2016
    This book is a set of anecdotes of the older days of flying, when it still had a human face. It is illuminating to see the huge development of technology within the lifetimes of the writers, and also the change of culture. Now, it’s all business, and a vicious fight for profit. When Wendy and Dave were young, competing airlines helped each other out, and a request from Wendy to another airline got a passenger the special treatment her circumstances needed.
    So, this is a look back to kinder, less hurried times, when an aeroplane was not a giant airborne bus, but an exciting adventure.
