Bush Pilots Do it in Fours follows Roy Watson's flying career and
his fascination with all things airborne, from the very first steps
through the restoration of a Tiger Moth, Aeronca and Zlin and some
exposure to aerobatics in these 'older' flying machines.
Thereafter, it moves towards larger aircraft, with his experiences
maintaining Hawker Siddley 748's. Roy was heavily involved in
establishing an airline, specifically aimed at supplying food, to
impoverished Africa and a close involvement with Russian Aircraft
and Douglas DC4's. What follows is his first taste of true 'bush
flying', which evoked a distinct passion and love for the DC-4
(which inspired the title of the novel itself). The novel finally
ends up with the challenging repair and subsequent conversion onto
the Boeing 707. The flying exploits vary from humorous undertakings
and happenings with his elderly light aircraft up to major
expeditions in commercial airliners stretching from the Antarctic
as far as the Northernmost Parts of Africa. Roy describes many
incidents in the air, on the ground, and with the local population
in a light-hearted and entertaining light that is sure to evoke a
smile or two.
