Publisher's Synopsis
In the lean years following World War I the future of aviation looks gloomy, and none know that so well as the skilful young airmen prepared to risk their prospects and their necks for the life and the people they love. Stephen Morris and Pilotage are linked novellas of the pioneer days of flying and also the first that Nevil Shute wrote. Not discovered until after his death, they reflect strongly personal elements of the thrilling and eloquent style of writing that has made him one of the world's best-loved story-tellers.
