Many books have been produced which detail the lives and thoughts of famous individuals. A View From The Wings is unique, recalling a wartime boyhood in which aircraft flying constantly overhead played a large part.
This experience led to a lifetime career in the aviation industry both in the UK and overseas such as the US and South Africa. Mixed with events of a more personal nature often coated with whimsical humour, the author has evocatively captured the rise and demise of Britain's aircraft industry in the post-war period.
