An aeronautical engineer predicts that a new type of airplane will fail after a certain amount of time in the air, and then he finds himself onboard one of the doomed planes while headed to a crash site.

The flaw is portrayal of engineers having eccentric personalities maladapted to social interaction. Otherwise a wonderful tour de force of the power of man's mind to use logic to understand his reality.

Hidden gem of a movie with sweet portrayal by Jimmy Stewart. The hero of the story is a logical, socially awkward engineer. It's a bit of a character study and I think it compares favorably to the much more famous "Harvey."

Excellent prophetic story about aircraft metal fatigue later (1952)happened to the de Haviland comet the first jet airliner -this fictitious prophecy told by Neville Shute the "aeronautical engineer who found he could write books"
