Dan-air. An airline and it's people.
I've read it. Definitely worth the money - very informative.

By a Captain Larkman I think. Have just ordered the book so will let you know. Hope you are well Moss !!!
Having done some more research, this sounds like a great book.
The late Captain Arthur Larkman served Dan-air for many years including several as Operations Director so I think it will be highly authoratative.

If you buy this excellent book from the publishers you get Vol 1 of Captain Larkman's biography for free.
PM me for publishers address so as not to upset the advertisement police here abouts.
Be lucky

Captain Arthur Larkmans first Volume is entitled " Chance Encounters " and it's the story of Malayan Airways a very special airline known only to a privileged few. Based in Singapore with an initial fleet of twelve DC-3s Arthur Larkman was with them prior to joining Dan Air. Between the lines of his recollections is much nostalgia which only those who know will recognise.
