A commercial airline pilot offers a lyrical and deeply personal meditation on the wonder of modern flight. Drawing on years of experience in the cockpit, the author transforms the routine act of flying into something magical, exploring everything from the physics of lift to the poetry of crossing time zones, from the subtle beauty of contrails to the profound experience of watching cities glitter far below.
This is a love letter to aviation that will enchant anyone who has ever gazed out of an aeroplane window in wonder. Blending technical insight with philosophical reflection, it reveals the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary, reminding readers that even the most frequent flyer is participating in something that would have seemed like pure fantasy to previous generations. A perfect read for aviation enthusiasts and armchair travellers alike.
