Rezensionen

What gives this book an authentic and inimitable flavour is the personal confrontation with a recurrent peril. Quite aside from its literary merits, which I much admire, this book is valuable as a document; and it is the unusual combination of these two qualities which makes Night Flight so exceptionally important.
