Legend, you are right about Lester Brain, the true aviator. I had the pleasure of meeting him when a young F/O in TAA, nobody has impressed me more. A man of few words, but what he said was worth bottling. One of QF'S and TN'S finest, without a word of a doubt. If only he was running the show now, he always put his staff first, always. He recognised their worth, he recognised the fact that without them he had no airline to run, he loved his pilots and engineers and his door was always open. I was in awe of the bloke and his achievements, this book as Legend quotes, is a must read, if you love aviation and aviation history.
