Will? Will Sparks:
What? Philip Peel:
Is it possible that At the speed of sound, the controls are reversed? Will Sparks:
At the speed of sound, Philip, anything's possible. Why? Philip Peel:
During the war once, I put a Spitfire into a flat-out dive. No particular reason, just youthful high spirits. I think now that I hit the sound barrier. I remember that the more I pulled on the stick, the harder the nose went down. The same thing happened this morning. Will Sparks:
You're not supposed to do a high Mach number! Philip Peel:
I know, but I did. Both times, I had the feeling that if I'd had the guts to put the stick forward instead of pulling it back, I could have pulled out without having to lose speed. What do you think? Will Sparks:
There's nothing in the books to suggest for one second anything so Edgar Allan Poe-ish. Philip Peel:
