ABOUT
Over the past fifteen years Edward Bishop has written the obituaries of countless men and women who have figured in the story of civil and military aviation - the numbers of whom he has known personally and 100 of the most fascinating of which appear here.
Ranging from R.E. Bishop who designed the de Havilland Mosquito to Cheshire VC who flew 'the wooden wonder', to Tom Sopwith, the pioneer plane maker to Sir Frank Whittle, the jet engine pioneer, Bishop's obituaries reflect the glories and setbacks of aviation in peace and war.
Written with wit, insight, compassion and humour, here is a richly unpredictable medley of colorful personalities.
