"In Flight" - Speedbird B747 FO writes beautifully about LHR-NRT
One of the most beautiful, lyrical, and informative pieces of writing I have read anywhere. I was going to call it beautiful aviation writing, but it is just beautiful writing. (nyti.ms) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Mark's book was 'book of the week' on BBC radio a few weeks back, he has a poet's touch which brings back the romance and splendour of powered flight.
Wow, this brings the beauty into flying across the skies in a large piece of aluminum. I agree with Hurf Sheldon. The writing is comparable to E.K. Gann's, Fate is The Hunter, one of the best books that describe flying in the early post-Wright Brothers years.
Wonderful
Wow...
Just when you think literary skill has declined in our cold, technical age - this gentleman reminds us of the elegant simplicity of the spoken (written) word. Outstanding!
That was a wonderful read and truly conveys the magic of flight.
Thank you for the link and thank you to the writer, BA First Officer Mark van Hoenacker and New York Times for publishing it.
