Here is a new comedy thriller with music, planned to show the progress of civil aviation in wartime. The hero is one Bill Carey, a tough young squadron-leader of the Australian Air Force, who is a passenger on a plane to Australia. His companion is a young woman, Amanda Linden, on her way to Australia to lecture on British women's work in wartime. The story relates their adventures on the journey, and how they are pursued at every turn by enemy agents.
