Little Success Story
I thought I would share this, trivial though it may be. I grew up in Australia, and two of my favourite books were a pair of pre-war aviation books of my mother's. They were part of the reason I fell in love with aviation. When we came back to the UK, everything we had was stored in a warehouse which subsequently was destroyed by fire. The things I missed most were those two books. In the intervening years I've kept an eye out for them, but not really knowing the titles I was chasing wild geese. Then the other night I hit the mother lode and found them, first on ebay and then on the South American river. The courier arrived today and I'm now the happy owner of "Wonders of World Aviation" edited by Clarence Winchester. An early Christmas present to myself. Spookily, it's just short of fifty years since the other pair were destroyed.
