I have bought, and read Lighning boys 1 and 2, Jaguar Boys. Phantom Boys, Victor Boys, Buccaneer Boys, Valiant Boys and Vulcan Boys ? I'm a sucker for punishment perhaps, as a non aircrew bloke, but in their own ways each brings out the love of flying, those who were lucky enough to have been paid to do it, had for their occupation. As an ex Truckie worker, I'm sure Beverly boys, Argosy Grandpa's and Herk Ancients would be thrilling reading. I can't knock any of the books, all in their individual way give us an insight in to the people who flew and supported the aircraft, and the fact that it's published means that it won't be forgotten easily, as many of the exploits of their predecessors has been.
