The Flight of the Phoenix
The Flight of the Phoenix | Elleston Trevor
2 posts | 1 read
No way out ... Twelve men survived the crash when a blinding, unexpected sandstorm sent their Skytruck air freighter plummeting to the Earth. Now they are in Hell, stranded and alone in the empty wastes of the Sahara, facing a slow, agonizing death under the unrelenting Libyan sun. Two of them have the skills to avert a terrible fate: the brilliant, obsessed engineer Stringer, and the tormented pilot Towns. Bitter enemies, they must now work together to build an impossible dream from the wreckage and fly it to freedom ... if madness, rage, suspicion, and the merciless desert don't destroy them first. This is a story so riveting it inspired two major motion pictures -- the memorable 1965 film starring Jimmy Stewart and the 2004 film starring Dennis Quaid.

I‘m early in the book - they‘ve lost both engines and are about to make a crash landing...and why did I start reading this NOW? 🤨

I saved this book from certain doom, i.e. the trash pile at Belzer Middle school. It is a fast paced adventure story that can be read in an afternoon. I might see out the film at some later date. My brother gets this book next.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I like the older film. Never saw the remake. 7y
