Definitive histories of Scottish aviation& military aircraft

“This 238 page book is deceptive in size, but is full of so much information it is difficult to describe. Filled with images, specifications, information and the history of early British naval aviation including a detailed history of HMS Argus. This book is highly recommended to anyone interested in naval aviation.”

“The detail is amazing, you feel as though your back there, you can see how they produced for the Empire and the world — a brilliant read.”

“If you have even the remotest interest in British helicopters from the start of the 20th Century, this well-researched book should be of interest to you. It is packed full of interesting facts, data and photos. How many people know of the involvement in helicopter development by the Glasgow-based Morris Furniture Company? Precious few I would contend.”

“This is a book to be recommended for all sorts of reasons — Lady Houston's biographical notes, the historical notes, the technical data contained therein and the narrative that brings it all together. It is also well Illustrated with charts and photographs that support the text.”

“We have a little information about Percy Pilcher, but nothing as comprehensive and well researched as this, so it is a wonderful addition to stock. His story is both fascinating and tragic — one can't help wondering how the development of flight would have progressed had he survived.”

“A very well researched book which includes details of her entire career. Filled with photographs, including aircraft used, and drawings. Appendix includes commanding officers of the ship and the Fleet Air Arm as well as details of the various operations involving HMS Argus.”
