Summary "A Fine Fix" by Ray C. Noll is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. Set within a military and aviation framework, the narrative revolves around the investigation of mysterious pilot losses involving advanced atomjet aircraft. The story explores themes of responsibility, psychological intricacies, and human reactions in high-stakes environments, all while attempting to resolve a pressing aviation mystery. The plot centers on Major Grant Reis and First Lieutenant Bridget Ashley as they navigate the challenges presented by a series of unexplained disappearances of pilots operating atomjet patrols. After discovering an atomjet reactor in a farmer's field, tensions rise as the military investigates the losses linked to pilot errors and mechanical failures. Bridget, an expert in psychometrics, suspects a psychological factor may be at play, leading to her innovative but controversial testing strategies. As Grant becomes involved in her investigation, their professional interactions evolve into a more personal relationship. Throughout the story, the gripping blend of technical detail, psychological exploration, and human drama culminates in Grant piloting an atomjet with a hidden TV transmitter, aiming to uncover the truth behind the pilots' loss while grappling with his growing feelings for Bridget.
