Very technical but also full of loads of details and illustrations I've not seen elsewhere.
The author started at SARO in 1951, received his Master's Degree from Cranfield in 1958, emigrated to Canada that year and then to the US in 1960. Worked on the MARAD VRC-1 SES test craft program 1960-64, was Technical Director and Program Manager for Bell's SES-100B and, on and on, including stints at the Pentagon, and Program Director for Lockheed's Sea Shadow.
He's 82 and lives on Vashon Island, Washington.
