This book has something for everyone. Adventure. History. Human drama. And if you love aviation, it’s especially good. Personally, this ought to be required reading for anyone getting into the aviation industry; pilot, mechanic, whatever.Essentially, the story follows an airline crew caught in the wrong side of the Pacific Ocean at the outbreak of World War II. With barely $30 in their pockets, no change of clothes, no maps, no instructions, no ready source for proper fuel or spare parts and no guarantee of safety or success they have to embark upon a journey thousands of miles longer than they have experienced.An easy read that is a must.
