Where the phrase comes from · Card no. 4014
Aviation, 1930s and 40s. The point of no return is where a plane has burned enough fuel that going on takes less than turning back, so the decision makes itself. It moves with the wind, which is why pilots recalculate it.
No such place exists, which has never stopped anyone from going. Every card here is an original painting of a phrase, free to send by email or by link.
