"For five decades, beginning in 1933, Duncan McLaren has been dedicated to planes. He serviced them, flew them, tested them and later in his career, he leased, traded and bought them. Now, from the resources of his life-long experience, he is writing, again about planes. [He] tells a remarkable story with humour, and in meticulous detail that will satisfy the most demanding aviation, arctic and business specialist." - dust jacket. "In 1933, my aviation beginning year, I knew of no one who envisioned the tremendous technological developments that would revolutionize air transportation during one life term. It is said that hindsight is usually more accurate than foresight and it is my though that this record will set forth the progress of such advances, within the sphere in which I functioned." - Preface.
