DEDICATION

      To my beloved N, my writing partner

       ‘But it is beautiful to unfold our soulsAnd our short lives’

EPIGRAPH

      Prohibition is an awful flop.

      We like it.

      It can’t stop what it’s meant to stop.

      We like it.

      It’s left a trail of graft and slime,

      It’s filled our land with vice and crime,

      It don’t prohibit worth a dime,

      Nevertheless we’re for it.

      From F. P. A., New York World

      ‘The aeroplane was very easy to fly and very forgiving to pupils’ mistakes, even to the extent of (usually) not killing them when they spun it to the ground… To start off with, and for some reason I could never understand, [it] seldom seemed to catch fire after a crash.’

      Allen Wheeler, Flying Between the Wars
