Shute, Nevil: So Disdained.v1.10 April 2012
 

This is the second of Nevil Shute's novel.

Like many of Nevil Shute's novels, it is based on the life of pilot. This pilot, Maurice Lenden, is out of work and out of luck, as were many people in the period between WWI and WWII. What he does to get back in the air and reclaim his self-worth is the basis of the story.
