So what was O'Conner's arrow all about?:confused:

Which chapter?

Chapter XII. Page 237.

O'Connor maybe wanted him to try a 'Lord'. But for the reasons expressed, maybe not.

Maybe he flew to low and O'Connor was saying, "Look at the size of this tree you just hit. You nearly killed me." Again, maybe not.

At the end of Chapter XIII on page 273 there is again reference to the arrow, and the author does not wish to ask about it. Possibly because they both know it was an invitation to land and both also know that would have been foolish. The author does not wish to embarass O'Connor for what may have been a moment of weakness, alone in the cold etc.

Ace book, just buy it and read it one day.

Yes,it's a very special book.
If you havn't read it,please beg,borrow or steal a copy.

It should be a mandatory part of the CPL ground school syllabus.

And "Night over Water" should be compulsory reading for a type rating :confused:

Hey now, I really like "Night over water". :uhoh:

However, reading it I must admit did not help me pass me ATP. Or ALTP if you must. :p

Pul-lease :rolleyes:

Night Over Water is one of my lighter books. It's as near to playful as I ever get.

Ken Follett

It should be a mandatory part of the CPL ground school syllabus.Amen to that. I can't believe how many of the people I fly with have never even heard of it.

A copy should be part of every ship's library - chained to aircraft.

Especially if it's a DC3

So no-one knows then?

Damn-it! Can't find my copy. I've already lost two over the years through lending them out... The Eighth Passenger by Miles Tripp went the same way. :*
