Zero She Flies is the third studio album by folk artist Al Stewart, released in 1970. It is notable for being the first of his albums to include a song with historical references, namely "Manuscript" which refers to the events which led to the outbreak of World War I, including the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.
The term "zero she flies" comes from early aviation and refers to the flight of a plane (typically a biplane) flying blind but exactly on course through darkness or dense fog.
The album is commercially available as part of a CD boxset To Whom It May Concern, which contains his first three albums as well as a single and its B side and a couple of tracks added to the rerelease of Bed-Sitter Images in 1970. The 2007 re-release includes bonus tracks.
All tracks composed by Al Stewart; except where indicated.
