I think you'll find that "Slide Rule" was by Neville Shute
Wikipedia says....
"Nevil Shute Norway (17 January 1899 - 12 January 1960) was, as Nevil Shute, a popular novelist, as well as a successful aeronautical engineer."
So there you have it.......
PS "Flying from my mind" by David G. Cook is worth a read.
