Think Like A Bird - Alex Kimbell

This book I found facinating. Not only did it have the action of flying on ops in the 1960's in Aden but it also clearly brought out the relationship between QFI/QHI and "stude".

Having had first-hand experience of being the latter 30 years ago I can vouch for its accuracy. I still think of Mr. Summers and his character could have been one of many QFIs I knew....

I do wonder though if "Mr. Summers" was his real name or if not, who the real person actually was. He deserves a book of his own.
