High End Aeroplanes

Yes he did see a lot of the NW Frontier at first - but if you will bear with me, trying to bring his old log book to life, he does go south, and also to your neck of the woods in Burma in the course of his next nine months with the Comm. Flight.
You are quite right in thinking that he preferred the Beechcraft to the Anson (indeed as harrym has told us of the luxury of the US made aircraft in comparison to the home grown product). Beech aircraft are ever held in high regard in the general aviation world, and when I had a close look at a Fairchild Argus at a fly-in in the UK, the build quality of the bird was a joy to see. They were so desirable as personal aircraft that (pre US entry to the war when all production went to the military) Hollywood Movie Stars Robert Taylor, Tyrone Power, Mary Pickford and the great Jimmie Stewart all purchased their own.
