Here is a thin slice of headline history, re-visited just in time, as data and personal information fade into oblivion. Volume Two is the authors completed part of a meticulous record of the chosen few who were carefully selected over a period of nearly 50 years and trained to fly. Some were pilots who earned the nations highest honour. Many reached the top ranks in their chosen later life. All were interesting characters with great stories to tell. Some of those sto- ries are here, and make good reading. More significant, however, are the hundreds of names listed, the details hunted down for the record, and the added memories. The collection of pictures of the hardy Harvard aircraft and the lists of pupil pilots painstakingly collected here, are priceless. The recorded memories, with their laughter, are the right stuff for a movie. A fitting encore for the CFS Boys.A fine piece of history concerning the skills and valour of an elite school of defenders of freedom who doubled as rescuers from floods,shipwrecks and similar peacetime tragedies in South Africa.Harvey Tyson (author, columnist, former editor of The Star) |
