One thing I'd love to examine is an Imperial Airways pilots memoir or autobiography - however, I have so far been unsuccessful in tracking one down. So I thought it might be worth asking if anyone here knew of any material of that sort, that I may have overlooked in my initial sweep.
Many thanks,

Joe,
The SolentSky musueum ot Southampton would be a very good place to visit for info about imperial Airways (and, course the Spitfire). You can climb aboard their Sandringham flying boat and get a good feel of what aviation at that period was actually like.

Good luck,
