From his humble beginnings, as a trainee mechanic at a West London garage, John Cresswell later discovered his latent talents for the game of business and became a hugely successful entrepreneur. However he still mourns the loss of his first wife and mentor, the raven-haired Laura, to whom he was devoted. Despite a knighthood and a subsequent successful second marriage, to the aristocratic Eleanor, Sir John considers he has never been fully accepted into the British Establishment. The Government has now asked Sir John to lead a large and floundering British State-owned airline corporation. He sees this appointment as being his final opportunity to be afforded the appreciation, recognition and status which he considers his achievements truly deserve. Set in the mid-1980s and continuing through the early years of the modern era of civil aviation, Airline Games is the story of Sir John's progress in the turbulent and challenging airline world. Will his skills at game-playing succeed in an industry where egos and politics so often rule the day?
