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.

For those needing more info, ISBN No, etc, look here:-

Ian Allan Publishing » Superstore » Aviation » Civil Aviation » Books » DAN-AIR: An Airline And Its People

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

" Chance Encounters " ( Malayan Airways )

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.
