Hugh Thompson

The book title, Unfit to Fly, sums up the content of this publication nicely for the author who has achieved and enjoyed a varied aviation career as a civilian pilot despite a medical condition which threatened to curtail his flying before it had even began. Had the Civil Aviation Authority had its way, this book would never have been written. The theme of the book is one of determination to succeed against the odds, overcoming several periods of redundancy which ironically has made the writer's flying more varied and interesting. It is hoped that readers will be given encouragement to pursue a career in flying even if they have had a poor start to life; if you want to succeed, you can, provided you put in the effort and study hard. There is also a flight safety element to the book as Hugh has been happy to reveal some remarkably lucky escapes which he hopes will help to prevent similar incidents happening to other pilots. He has also created and developed a small airstrip in south Shropshire at 'Milson' which he is proud to declare as his legacy to aviation. His efforts to overcome planning difficulties are given a particular emphasis. The Ruskin quote relates to this achievement. Anyone wishing to fly will find this book interesting and useful, but if you can already, it will be an interesting read about someone else's flying history. Enjoy it.
