Nevil Shute Norway ( 17 January 1899 – 12 January 1960 ) was a popular British-Australian novelist and a successful aeronautical engineer.

He used his full name in his engineering career, and ' Nevil Shute ' as his pen name, in order to protect his engineering career from any potential negative publicity in connection with his novels.

Shute attended the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich but because of his stammer was unable to take up a commission in the Royal Flying Corps, instead serving in World War I as a soldier in the Suffolk Regiment.

Shute worked as Chief Calculator ( stress engineer ) on the R100 airship project for the subsidiary Airship Guarantee Company.

Shute gives a detailed account of the episode in his 1954 autobiographical work, Slide Rule.

But according to Shute there was virtually no contact between him and Sir Harold Roxbee Cox who was the Head of Development of R101 project until the very end.

The innovation of fitting a retractable undercarriage to the Airspeed Courier, and his work on R100, earned Shute a Fellowship of the Royal Aeronautical Society.

Shute identified how engineering, science and design could improve human life and more than once used the apparently anonymous epigram, " It has been said an engineer is a man who can do for five shillings what any fool can do for a pound ...." It is said that Shute was a cousin of the red haired Irish-American actress Geraldine Fitzgerald.
