Invoking the styling of classic spy stories, this essay provides an account of a commercial aviation emergency landing that blew the agent/author's “cover” as a full participant ethnographer. Using an experimental autoethnographic format, the piece offers an evocative portrayal of a perceived near-death experience and its aftermath, as well as critical commentary on writing autoethnography with a fictionalized framing. In the closing “debrief,” the author sheds her agent persona to describe the process of writing about traumatic events and to analyze how those events focus attention on methodological and ethical considerations for qualitative research.

The development of the gas turbine is so rapid and the thermo-dynamic ingenuity which is being lavished upon it at the present time is so imaginative and varied that the words “ in its forms ” which appear in the title to this paper can mean as much or as little as you please. Partly because I want to limit the scope of this paper to developments which might be expected to be in service within the next five years, and partly because I am frankly not sufficiently acquainted with the characteristics of many of its more advanced forms, I am going to confine myself to a discussion of the effects upon the speed and economy of commercial aviation of the two simplest and immediate variants of the gas turbine— the simple jet-producing turbine and the simple propeller-driving turbine.
