Thank you to LibraryThing and the author for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars
This book is just under 100 pages so it's short and an easy read. Basically this book is about the author, Thomas Frood, and his time as an air service employee in the '50s. It's just a few interesting stories but I enjoyed it! The story about the bear made my heart drop. I knew he would be okay but I was still worried how it would go for his partner.
I think there was some technical speak that made the writing a bit clunky and, at parts, confusing. But I think having the raw moments of human error was so important. The author never pretends he was perfect at his job and even highlights some of his (and his crew's) mistakes. I really appreciate that because it makes the author feel more relatable for the reader.
I also really think the tribute to one of his former coworkers (and friend) was sweet. Sharing stories about him with the rest of the team was really nice and a great way of remembering someone who had a large impact on everyone.
All in all, very good collection of memories. I appreciate being able to read and review this.… (mais)
