About This Item
Harper Collins / Phyllis Bruce. Very Good+. 1997. First Edition. Trade. 0006481302 . Trade Paperback in Very Good++ condition, nice copy with a tight binding, a bright, unmarked interior. Light scuffing to the covers. "Readers who are interested in aviation will be especially drawn to Helen Humphreys's Leaving Earth, the story of two fictitious aviatrixes, Grace O'Gorman, already a legend, and her co-pilot, the much less experienced twenty-three-year-old Willa Briggs, on a twenty-five-day mission to break a flight endurance record-a record held by Grace's aviator husband Jack. Much of the novel's suspense comes from the fact that it is Jack who flies the refuelling plane, Grace and Willa's only connection with the world below." ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 232 pages .
