The following morning at first light, the engines roared to life. Lao and General Tsu came to see them leave and waited by their car with Ellie, while Ira fussed round the others like a hen with its chickens. Sammy looked excited and eager but desperately afraid he’d do his part wrong, while Cheng was quite obviously nervous. They both looked mere children, quivering with willingness but pathetically lacking in experience.
‘Listen, Sammy,’ Ira was urging. ‘No heroics. You don’t know much and Cheng knows less and we don’t take chances. If anybody comes down on us, remember all we can do is fly rings round them and pretend we’re dangerous. If there’s trouble, bolt for home.’
Sammy nodded, his face grave with concentration. ‘OK, Ira. I’ll remember.’
Fagan was already roaring, tail-up, across the field, and as Ira swung into position, making his final cockpit check, he was climbing above the Chang-an-Chieh and swinging towards the east. The labouring Avro was heaving itself up after him and, a few moments later, Ira opened the throttle of the Albatros and sped down the field after it.
