The Few Who Flew is a captivating memoir penned by one of the last young men to undergo RAF pilot training, earning his wings in April 1957, just days before the end of National Service. Michael Morris, as he was then (he is now Lord Naseby), was chosen to undergo his flying training in Canada alongside fellow British and NATO pilots from seven different countries. The initial training took place at Moose Jaw in the Prairies, followed by jet flying on the world's best trainer at the time, the T-33 Canadair Silver Star. The Few Who Flew vividly reflects Michael's deep passion for all aspects of aviation. The last three chapters delve into Churchill's Secret Airfield, RAF Tempsford, Bedfordshire, near Michael's home; his thoughts on the future of aviation in a low-carbon world; and finally, some provocative ideas for a one-year "Service to the Nation" for all young school leavers.
