Cathay Pacific story

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a nice book which tells the Cathay Pacific story. Can someone help me with this?.....I did a google search, but all that came up was the CX interview book.
Some airlines bring out yearly books about their happenings. Perhaps CX does too.

And where can I purchase these books?

Any feedback would be appreciated,

Thanks in advance.

Street.

Try 'Beyond Lion Rock' by Gavin Young, 'The Story of Cathay Pacific Airways', ISBN 0 09 173724 9.

You could also try Syd's Pirates by Chick (Just do your job, old son) Eather, but Gavin Young's book is far better.
