...plane. It belonged to Imperial Airlines, a "nonsked" outfit with a "fleet" of four planes. The Army got hooked up with Imperial by a dismal series of events. By law-as enacted by Congress under pressure from commercial air companies-the Army and the other services are forbidden to transport troops by military aircraft in the continental U.S. on the theory that the airlines need the business. The law also permits nonscheduled airlines such as Imperial to bid for service contracts and because the penny-skimping nonskeds can generally underbid the bigger airlines, they usually get the contracts.

In the book's second third, the irascible old men who run the zoo squabble violently over a plan to transport the animals to a game preserve on the Welsh border. But the energy of their manias is fussed away to little effect, for in the final chapters, rather irrelevantly, there is a war.
