Synopsis
This autobiography by Sir Adam Thomson tells of his buccaneering past flying with the RAF in World War II and of how he started British Caledonian Airways which he built up to become a serious rival to British Airways. The author recounts how he saw Gatwick airport grow from a few huts and a small runway to being the second busiest airport in the world and how B-Cal picked up more and more international routes and awards for service and efficiency. But being subsumed by British Airways became inevitable and a lengthy dispute about the terms was finally resolved in March 1987.
