FISHING AND FLYING. By Terence Horsley.
(1947) 2016 new edition. Small 8vo paperback with flaps (142 x 193mm). Pp284 + 3pp ads. B/w illustrations by Tunnicliffe.
An attractive new reprint of a trout fishing classic of the 1940s. "As a pilot, the author flies from the remote highlands of Scotland to the quiet creeks of Cornwall, packing into the gun wells of a fighter, or the baggage space of a transport plane, his fishing-rod and a box of flies." "From [the sky] he can survey a river and note the good lies or discover little lochs which from the ground might never be located. He can find from his aerial viewpoint the route to such unknown waters, and when he returns to base he can set out on foot to reconnoitre. He has used a plane for shooting-up poachers seen to be fishing his water, though future trespassers upon his preserves will be thankful that the war is over." (Country Sportsman, April 1948).
