Hi
Does anyone know of any books or articles about pilots who flew around
Africa in the 1960s or 1970s?
Regards
George

Here is a reply I got from a fried of mine now in Austraila. He spent
a number of years in the flyihg game in Africa.

Look at the link he shows.

Suggest you try;-
http://www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2006-01,GGLD:en&q=jack+malloch
Or alternatively just type Jack Malloch in the google search box.
Malloch and I worked for the same Airline (Hunting Clan) for a while.
He was a Spitfire pilot during the war, shot down and spent time with
Italian partisans before escaping back to U.K. Subsequently had a
chequered career gun running for Moishe Tshombe in Katanga, spent time
in an African jail, then went sanction busting for Ian Smith by
setting up his own airline. Died a number of years ago while doing a
victory roll over Salisbury (Harare) in his own privately owned
Spitfire. Sabotage of his aircraft suspected but never proved . Quite
a character.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Tony

No, but I can give you the email address of an old friend of mine who flew
there at that time. Email me at
quilljar at btinternet dot com if you are interested.
