In Beyond The Blue Horizon, Alexander Frater reveals and relives the romance and breathtaking excitement of the legendary Imperial Airways Eastbound Empire service-the world’s longest and most adventurous scheduled air route.Written with an infectious passion, this is an extraordinarily original and genre-defining piece of travel writing by one of the world’s most highly respected travel correspondents.”Whether being mown down by stampeding Baghdad-bound passengers in Cairo airport; battling with Indian Airline staff (and failing) to reconfirm six vital going-on flights from Delhi; being lured unwittingly into a souvenir shop selling pornographic wood carvings in Lombok; or hitting tropical Cyclone Ferdinand in a 748 en route from Sumba to Bali, Frater rises above it all with humour, style and a wonderfully sharp eye.” (The Evening Standard)
