Perhaps this review is unfair as I am not quite done with half of the book. However, what I have read so far has been like a stream of consciousness essay. Kind of all over the place.  Every time I think the author will explain an aside or go into more detail about a specific incident, he jumps thirty years to discuss another crash or near failure.It also does have a kind of condescending British have and can do no wrong and the rest of the world is incompetent when it comes to airplanes, design, and logistics. He keeps referring to a rivalry between the Americans and British that is never fully explained and comes across as more of his opinion than any concrete facts.I will continue to read it as I hope the writing gets less chaotic. If I could choose one word to describe the overall feeling I get while reading this book... I'm going to choose 2 words: bizarre and tiring.
