In regard to the whinging about the 'unappreciated mass of humanity' or words to that effect, then perhaps the gentleman needs to read the book again (or for the first time
) and see the several occasions AB acknowledges the contribution his staff made to the success of the company. Because of AB, three of my family became career pilots and I am not one to forget that.
The only time I met AB was when he took time out from his busy schedule (giant eraser in hand, scrubbing bits off the drawings he didn't like, for the Aberdeen hangar plans in 1981) to tell me to get my hair cut - he was quite right btw.
