Written in a vivid and descriptive style, the book captures the excitement and danger of early aviation in the 20th century. Strang seamlessly weaves together technical details with edge-of-your-seat action, creating a truly immersive reading experience. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world, the novel explores themes of ambition, perseverance, and the human spirit's desire to push the limits of what is possible.

Their combined expertise in storytelling and knowledge of the aviation industry shines through in every page of 'A Thousand Miles an Hour'. I highly recommend 'A Thousand Miles an Hour' to readers who enjoy historical adventure novels and tales of daring feats.
