“From Biplane to Boeing” tells the story of my father's life in flying. The book is based almost entirely on his personal logbooks and notebooks which he maintained all the way through his career, logging the detail of every flight. Wing Commander Walter Hillary, DFC., DFM, was taught to fly by the Royal Air Force and went on to fly more than 80 missions with Bomber Command and with Transport. His war was in Europe, North Africa and Burma (now Myanmar). After World War II he pursued a career in Civil Aviation for over 30 years across Africa, flying passengers in Kenya, the Belgian Congo and Libya. The book is my personal tribute to my Dad. It provides evidence for the courage and adaptability of that whole generation.
