It was later tuened into a book, which I have. The 1958 novelization was titled "Runway Zero-Eight". Typical of Hailey's attention to detail, the destination airport, Vancouver, actually has a runway 08, which is the most commonly used runway in winter months. (It's now 08R; a parallel runway has since been built to the north of it.) -- /~\ cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid (Charlie Gibbs) \ / I'm really at ac.dekanfrus if you read it the right way.
