This manuscript has been written by our Dad, air pilot Bryan McCook. His flying career began with the RNZAF in 1948 and took him (and then us) across the world - from NZ to Fiji, Australia, Papua New Guinea, St Croix USVI, Puerto Rico, Singapore and SE Asia. 50 years in the air, over 28,000 flying hours, 40 aircraft types, skyward dreams, boundless adventures and exhilarating flying. This is our Dad's story. This book is strongly recommended and should find a place on the shelves of all lovers of aeroplanes and flying - Jim Sinclair OBE
