Om denne e-bog
This is the gripping, compelling saga of men and their machines and their lonely women. Men who have only one goal—get up in the sky in anything that flies!
The Captain—a man not to be grounded, determined to fly the last plane out of the war; Jennings—survivor of a terrifying crash, who kept his eyes turned to the skies all his life; The copilots, navigators, technicians, ground crews—and the two young women who tie together the threads of their lives.
They could live no other way.
Praise for Last Plane Out
"As exciting a story of adventure in the sky as anything ever given us..."—Chicago Tribune (Last Plane Out)

Mr. Ball has also authored a number of notable young adult books. Praise for John Ball "The guy certainly knows his airplanes well and he held my interest very tightly as he developed the story." —RICHARD BACH, author of Stranger to the Ground and Biplane (Rescue Mission) "A nice tight murder puzzle." —Times Literary Supplement (Five Pieces of Jade) "A taut, dramatic yarn." —Charlotte Observer (Five Pieces of Jade) "Tibbs is as much a model of perfection as the late Wimsey... A good detective who actually ratiocinates." —Times Literary Supplement (London) (Then Came Violence) "John Ball knows how to run with a good plot--and this is one of his best." —Kirkus Reviews (Singapore) "A top notch mystery." —News & Observer (The Kiwi Target) "A breathtaking suspense thriller." —Seattle Post-Intelligencer (The Kiwi Target) "The Kiwi Target is the last book that John Ball wrote.
