wunder's review against another edition
1.0
Of historical interest only, even though there is a nice, free edition from Standard Ebooks.
We've clearly learned a lot since 1930. A lot about physics, chemistry, aerodynamics, and also about characterization, plotting, engagement, and that women exist. There is one female mentioned in the entire book, and she's essentially a prop, a passenger on a plane.
If you want to go back to this era, read the Lensmen series. Here's an introduction.
