Many years ago in a library at Manchester I found this book by David Beaty called "Call me Captain". It was fiction based on his early flying with BOAC after the war. It reflected his bitter experiences as a first officer with arrogant supercillious and often incompetent civilian airline captains who had never fired a shot in anger but were legends in their own minds.
Those types still exist occasionally. Can anyone tell me where I could obtain a copy of that book nowadays? It is a classic.
