Recent books by Pilots
 

Many retired airline pilots have written books chronicling their flying experiences, but a recent publication takes a different approach.

The author flew for BOAC and British Airways as a line pilot, navigator and instructor, and has taken a different approach. He has used his experiences flying initially on Britannia's and finally 747s to write "Sky Talk", a collection of short stories based on actual flying incidents experienced not only by himself but also by his many colleagues. He has changed names, dates and locations to protect the innocent (!) and has spun interesting fictional tales that accurately describe the airline life he knew, with each event becoming a complete short story in itself.

This is a book that can be picked up and put down at will to suit your mood and available time, I can highly recommend it.

The book is available from the publishers https://www.burntash.eu/books-1

Any royalties that may be due will be given to the HCAP Air Pilots Trust to help aspiring young airmen.

My copy is still making its way towards me, but I have been fortunate enough to have read several of Phil's stories and can certainly recommend them! It will be available through Amazon as well (see here) but the publisher is offering a discount right now (click). Ebook available too.
