Many retired airline pilots have written books chronicling their flying experiences, but a recent publication takes a different approach.
The author flew for BOAC and British Airways as a line pilot, navigator and instructor, and has taken a different approach. He has used his experiences flying initially on Britannia's and finally 747s to write "Sky Talk", a collection of short stories based on actual flying incidents experienced not only by himself but also by his many colleagues. He has changed names, dates and locations to protect the innocent (!) and has spun interesting fictional tales that accurately describe the airline life he knew, with each event becoming a complete short story in itself.
This is a book that can be picked up and put down at will to suit your mood and available time, I can highly recommend it.
