Chic Eather
B to B (sic) was written by ex CX skipper and historian, Martin Willing..a slightly sanitized account and a tag trainspotting of CX and it's a/c history..more about sourcing and the whereabouts of cx aircraft etc. Gavin Young, the author of ..Beyond Lion Rock..sadly died in 2001 but was actually commissioned to write a Quasi definitive account of the development of CX. It was basically an attempt to redefine, more formally, the true descriptive of the CX story by a bona fide writer...possibly usurping Chic's pilot based account in Syd's Pirates. The latter was and is a historical narrative that remains accurate although slightly dislocated in it's writing style but the Young read is undoubtedly a good account of the years from 1946 to around 1992. If you're a CX anorak, your library should include, Beyond Lion Rock, Syds Pirates and from B to Betsy... The Nicky account is a coffee table journal, interesting but with glib narrative!!
