Review of Mayfly

[Priya Murugesan]

“For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating."

The heat and fog chapters were a little boring to read. The Tango Echo incident was funny and left me laughing. The India Zulu chapter was exciting at first but heartbreaking at the end. The treachery chapter was interesting and exposed the struggles faced by the groundlings. The author discloses some terrible accidents, which were horrible to read. Numerous incidents reveal the commercial aspect and the complications of the aviation industry. The final chapter left me dumbfounded. 

'Aviation was a child that had foregone the pleasures of growing up, forced to premature maturity by war, commercial necessity, and the sheer speed of technological advance.'

Lots of never-heard-of information, presented as it is, without making it too heavy! I'd love to dig into this one. Adding it to my reading list for now. Great review, Priya ... detailed and engaging.

Hope you love it, Seetha!
