Co incidentally yesterday I started unpacking my deceased Dads books that have been in boxes in my roof for the last 15 years for transfer into my new Billy book shelves. First book out was a shabby version Flying Doctor, 1947 Edition. Noted chapter X1 is titled "the uncivil aviation department" Looking forward to the read along with "The Sea Shall Not Have Them".
