A rich fund of anecdotes drawn from the authora s time as an
airline pilot and manager which spanned a forty year career,
starting in the 1960s. Roughly tracing the authora s career, each
story paints a different picture, be it be of a pilot, his faults
and foibles, an experience the author had, a management problem and
more. The backdrop is aviation but many of these stories could just
as easily be transposed to a different setting. Most, but not all,
have a strong flavour of humour and/or irony running through them.
In todaya s world of political correctness and in a society
otherwise constrained by litigious lawyers and an overbearing press
many of these [mostly amusing] stories almost defy belief. Such has
the world, and the world of aviation, moved on, few of the present
crop of young pilots flying today would believe what went on behind
closed doors. And neither would the rest of us!
