Extensively illustrated throughout, the book features details lifted directly from enquiry and salvage reports. It offers a unique insight into the failures and tragedies that blighted the early days of the Comet's development, laying down lessons that were ultimately to benefit later designs. As part of his research into the book, the author interviewed John Cunningham, the Comet test pilot who was the first to experience flight at the helm of this iconic craft. He was also given access to materials belonging to Harry Povey, the DeHavilland Production Manager. Insights gained from these two sources add a deep level of authenticity to the narrative and a more personalised account of the proceedings.

Attention is also paid to the derivative Nimrod design, and the book includes details drawn from an interview conducted with the aircraft commander of the last ever Nimrod operational flight. Interviews of this kind are supplemented by the author's own narrative, setting personal experience within historical context and exploring the themes and topics that the interviews evoke.
