BIGGIN HILL and A BUSH PILOT: RAF Stories from 1934 to 1944 and My Flying Adventures in Africa (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798652568559)

This book is a revised version of "To Fly". "Biggin Hill and a Bush Pilot" is a compendium of stories about flying adventures of a father and son, the father in the RAF and the son in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Bill Igoe learned to fly an aeroplane in the RAF in 1934. After a spectacular crash in 1938 which left him badly burned and ended his flying days, he was, as Senior Controller at Biggin Hill, closely involved in many WW2 dramas, such as the saga of the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. And Bill's son Brian learned to fly forty years after that, when the Concorde was around. Both had a lot of fun and some stories to tell about their common addiction. These are some of the stories.
