A Flight of Chariots is a 1963 novel written by Australian author Jon Cleary.^[1]

The novel follows two friends who fly planes during the Berlin Airlift and Korean War then become involved in the space program.^[2]

Andrew Leslie, writing in The Guardian, noted: "There is nothing tortuous or particularly subtle about A Flight of Chariots..By the end mr Cleary has succeeded in his object of showing that a recognisable human being is up there in orbit. No especially new insights of thought or feeling have been opened up; but the familiar view has been professionally rendered."^[3]
