Cloud Cuckooland

{detailed description}Cloud Cuckooland is a further volume of delightful reminiscences by Harald Penrose, one of the finest aviation writers in the world today. Following his retirement in 1969 after a long and distinguished career in aviation, which included 25 years as a test pilot, he continued flying but this time in small light aeroplanes and strictly for pleasure.
He describes flights in Tipsy, his scarlet painted low winged monoplane, over the English countryside he knows and loves so much. With a rare skill he communicates all the beauty and mystery of the wide free skies of the Airman's world. He tells of other flights in the small white biplane, the Curry Wot named Que Mas?; of his first flight in a hot air balloon; of the sailplane flight on his 65th birthday; and of memorable days sailing in East Anglia.
His memories of people and events past, his love of birds and the English countryside flow through these gentle tales.
This book will delight not only flying enthusiasts but yachtsmen and ornothologists as well as lovers of the English countryside.
