ynopsis

The subject is an individual aviator, an Argentine long-distance mail carrier, during the early days of flying. He is caught in a storm, with no way to land; and the drama occurs both within his family, anxious for his safe return, and among his employers, anxious both for his safe return and the success of their enterprise. [Sellors, Grove online]
