Leap in the Dark
Gordon, Donald
An airfield in Cornwall and crews are training on the new supersonic airliner, the Cordiale. Flying these aircraft is a tough business, the more so when you're in a race with the russian-built Tupelov to be operational. With politics and finance playing such a big hand, values and considerations become blurred and it is the aircrews that suffer - mentally and physically.
Strain eventually takes its toll and Captain Martin Henderson is forced to crash-land in the Arctic wastes of Canada. Martin and his girlfriend Jenny, along with the other survivors, struggle back to civilisation and during their ordeal discover what lies behind the pall hanging over not only the Cordiale Programme but also their love for each other.
