About this ebook
From an apprentice aircraft engineer, into a flying career. A commercial pilot flying Beaver's, DC3 Dakota, Vicker's Viscount and finally as a Training Captain on the Boeing B707. All with one airline although the airline's name changed with the changing political circumstances. Add an interest in flight safety and I finally retired as Chief of Air Accident Investigation in South Africa. Here I recall my 49 year career in aviation beginning in 1949.
