Summary
Roger spends over 2,000 hours a year with his feet off the ground, and still he can’t imagine not wanting to go faster and further than ever before. The sky itself is a concord; a union. Boundaries cease to exist. Borders aren’t visible from the top of the world.
Maybe that’s what keeps him from coming down—something about watching the sunset through a tiny oval window, something about the constant shaking of the plane around him and the world extending below him. Maybe it’s something about the simplicity of it, but Roger is a man with his eyes on the prize, and the coolest planes are the fastest ones.

Summary
Put simply, dynamic kinetic stability proposes that variation in a system which improves or maintains system longevity will persist, while any variation decreasing stability will be selected against. According to chemical kinetics, more complex molecules are usually more stable. Therefore, variations increasing the molecular complexity of system components will persist, because they also enhance the longevity of the system at large.
Or, how a complex relationship evolves between two unlikely partners: a worn-out gunner, Snafu Shelton, and an optimistic pilot, Eugene Sledge.

Summary
There’s a hint of blue on the horizon, beyond pregnant black storm clouds, and Snafu watches the storm roll in with something deeply humbling settling into his bones. Sometimes it feels like he lives on the very edge of the world; the whole earth rolling out at his feet, a silent witness to the whims and changeable moods of the planet. His tiny little slice of pure nature in the middle of the great blue beyond, ocean stretching as far as the eye can see.
