Ronnie Clarke, a pilot on an Australian airline, tells the story of himself.  When he learns that Johnny Pascoe has crashed in an inaccessible part of Tasmania trying to fly to help a sick girl and is lying with a fractured skull, Ronnie decides to try to land a doctor there, despite the tricky flying conditions; for Johnny Pascoe at sixty is someone whom Ronnie admires, always has admired ever since he taught Ronnie to fly back in England in the Thirties."
