 classic novel of warning: what can go catastrophically wrong when industrial innovation is put into public service without adequate forethought *or* testing.

six years after the publication of "no highway" (1948), the immensely successful - to that point - first ever jet airliner, the de havilland comet, suffered several catastrophic failures due to the "metal fatigue" phenomenon advanced as a potential major hazard by nevil shute in this novel - under his fuller name, nevil shute norway, he had worked at both de havilland and at vickers aircraft division, as well as having set up and running his own successful aircraft design, construction &c. company, airspeed ltd., whose "ambassador" twin engined civil aeroplane was produced for the r.a.f. and others as the successful advanced training & communications "airspeed oxford".
