Owen Zupp has gathered a number of his articles on aviation that range from descriptions of his own experiences through to thoughts & commentaries on historical events. As the title implies, his flight experiences cover the gamut of aviation including flying a Tigermoth and piloting airliners with stories covering many classic locations & "hour building" activities within Australia and across the globe.
This book will be of interest to more than just aviation enthusiasts as Owen's writings primarily capture his thoughts & observations inspired during flight. Owen's stories evoke comparison with Richard Bach's earlier aviation works as he explores our motivations for flight, the inspirations that drive many of us to explore, the challenges we face and the feelings generated by the magic of flight.
It's a great collection of enjoyable & easily read stories that will inspire, delight and inform. Highly recommended!… (mehr)
A great book covering McGlashan's time with the RAF & BOAC during WW2 and the 50's plus his reunion with the Hurricane he was flying when shot down over Dunkirk. It's fascinating to look into the experiences he had and holds your attention throughout the length of the book.
Definitely recommended for anyone interested in aviation biographies or windows onto the world of a country at war.
