About
In the 1930's several people around the world forsaw the requirement to set up aircraft staging routes around the world, both in preparation for WWII and in post-war civil transport. Sir P Gordon Taylor was one of the few to write about these times and produced what I can only call a "ripping good yarn".
He describes flying a PBY/Catalina flying boat across most of the world's oceans to become the first aircraft to land at such places as Bora Bora & Easter island. Many hair raising experiences from the famous in-flight engine oil transfer to riding out hurricanes at anchor.
An absolute must read for anyone who is interested in the development of international air travel.
