A middle aged British manufacturer of propellers for boats and airplanes has just discovered that his wife is on her way to America with her new lover.
She'll be on the Boeing Clipper that's soon to be boarding passengers in Southampton. But there's no way that he can get down to Southampton before it takes off.
He's wealthy enough to have his own aeroplane, a Tiger Moth, and can fly it down to Ireland where the Clipper will make it's final fueling stop before the 29 hour flight across the Atlantic. His aeroplane may be small and have only 4 cylinders with 130 horsepower, but it'll reach the last stop in Ireland before the Clipper does.
If there are no mishaps along the way.
Here's another free plane I was able to find - the
De Havilland Tiger Moth.
Will he make it in time?
Will he shoot his wife’s lover? Both of them?
Will he find new romance from the beautiful passenger who is flying down there with him? Why is she with him at all?
This is a great book.
