An Aviator's Anecdotes by John Pendreigh

Written by long-time MOTAT aviation volunteer John Pendreigh, this book is the personal tale of a New Zealand pilot’s aviation experiences, from Tiger Moths to Boeings and Airbus. John shares his successes and failures, as well as the feelings and emotions that shaped his career. Along the way, he introduces the incredible people who contributed so much to his life, both in the RNZAF and the RAAF. His account of spending 364 days flying an Iroquois helicopter on the front line during the Vietnam War is perhaps the most in-depth Kiwi account of this experience ever written. This book is a must-read for anyone with an interest in aviation, as well as those interested in the human experiences and values behind it.
