The Muse with Wings is a collection of well-written articles covering a wide range of topics. It distils forty years of experience in a kaleidoscope of ideas and events that have shaped the Air Force through its transition to an aerospace power. It relies much on the Air Marshal's personal experiences and the events of the time. The language is easy to comprehend and the ideas and events are as relevant today as they were yesterday. A must-read for any squadron pilot or avid aviator to realise the pit falls and hurdles along the path of an aviator.
