Review of A Wing and a Prayer by 15thDoctor

14 November 2024

There is an interesting combination of location and menace in this story, as well as valuable educational detail on the life of the first woman to traverse the world by aeroplane. The relationship between her and Clara is very tender.

The flying insect alien species is a little piece of genius, with the renegade playing off well against the wider community on the planet Earth. DWM comics of this era are extremely well written with fully fledged worlds

I’m not sure I would have gone back and saved the adventurer from her tragic death though. Doctor Who re-writing a genuine tragic event from history is not in the best taste in my opinion.
