Synopsis:

On Christmas Eve 1957, alone in the cockpit of his Vampire, an RAF pilot is returning from Germany to Lakenheath on leave - 66 minutes of trouble-free, routine flying. Then, out over the North Sea, the fog begins to close in, radio contact ceases, and the compass goes haywire.

This is a great flying story with an usual twist. Mr. Forsyth captures the emotions and feelings that run through the head of an RAF pilot on his way home over the North Sea on Christmas Eve. The twist is that he is about to run out of fuel in an airplane with no working navigation instruments. Oh, and in dense fog as well. Watching the pilot go from black despair back to the business of seat-of-the-pants flying and a final rescue from an airplane that disappeared fourty years earlier is an uplifting story. This one should be in everyones library!
