never let the facts get in the way of a good story

And there are some excellent photies to remind us of 'the bad old days'. My guess is that reading the book reinforces my feeling that the lack of helicopter expertise in the more influential Aviation Authorities (FAA CAA etc) in the post WWII aviation world will stand out as the single greatest brake on progress within the helicopter community and account for the need for the recent safety initiatives. There are some rumours that this lack of helicopter expertise is still prevelant in the FAA - anybody like to comment.
