'Only the Maker's Name' is a book that tells the story of a boy who
became infatuated with aeroplanes when, in 1934, he was taken up
for a pleasure flight by the world famous Miss Pauline Gower. He
was just three years old at the time. The book covers his escapades
and experiences as a child living alone with his mother in wartime
Britain, how he ran away from home at the age of fourteen and his
lengthy struggle to succeed in aviation. An almost fatal air crash
put him in hospital for two years. Eventually he recovered and
returned to flying. During his forty years as a flying instructor
and commercial pilot he experienced several narrow escapes. He also
flew as a stunt pilot, and flew one hundred and twenty different
types of aeroplane. Finally after a hectic and sometimes amusing
career, he retired as Managing Director and Chief Pilot of one of
the 'Air Atlantique' group of companies.
