To a professional pilot ‘up there’ can eventually become ‘up here’, and the world where he lands is episodic, fragmentary. It happens to some earlier than others. Then, perhaps, he does something damnfool in the half-real world down below and he finds that being able to fly doesn’t make him one of the gods.

It isn’t new. It’s been happening to birds ever since cats.

Gavin Lyall

In his debut novel Wrong Side of the Sky, 1961.

"Just try and remember,” I said slowly,” that if God had intended men to fly He’d have given us wings. So all flying is flying in the face of nature. It's unnatural, wicked and stuffed with risks all the time. The secret to flying is learning to minimize the risks.”

“Or perhaps — the secret of life is to choose your risks?"

Gavin Lyall

Shooting Script, 1966. .
