Philip Cleife - personal details sought
Philip Cleife was an ex-RAF pilot who set up an airline - Mayflower Air Services - operating DH.89 Dragon Rapides between Plymouth and St Mary's in the Scilly Isles 1961-2. Sadly he was seriously injured during a take-off accident (tyre blow-out) and the airline closed.
He subsequently wrote a book about his experiences, entitled 'Airway to the Isles', published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1966. I have a copy of the book and my intention is to convert it to digital (HTML) format and add it to my website for free access. I have written (twice) to H & S to ask for details of copyright ownership but have not received a reply.
Do any readers here have information about Capt Cleife or his family so that I can get the necessary permission to publish?
Thanks for info.
