ORAL HISTORIES:

This section has been created to provide additional sources of information relating to the life of Nevil Shute Norway. It is intended as a supplement to his autobiography, the biography by Julian Smith, and Richard Michalak's Time Line. At present, it includes talks and question and answer sessions by Nevil Shute's daughters, Heather Mayfield and Shirley Norway. In the future, we hope to include extensive interviews with friends and associates of Nevil Shute.
