From Flying Boats to Flying Jets: Post-war Development of Air Travel as Seen from the Flight-deck - Hardcover
Synopsis
"This book traces the development of civil airline routes by BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) crews from the immediate post-second world war period, when flying boats were used to reopen some of the old Empire routes to Africa and the Far East ... This book's attraction lies in the fact that it describes the whole sphere of flying operations through 'flight-deck eyes', and with a humour derived from the author's earlier days flying with the RAF. In many ways, the book puts the reader on the flight-deck, with the author navigating us on an informative and yet exciting journey".
