Driven to the Brink
Have you ever thought much about the person driving your taxi? Or do you just get in, lost in your own thoughts, pay the fare, get out and carry on with your day? He, or she, is just like you in a lot of ways. Trying to earn a living, worrying about day to day expenses, thinking about family problems. Driven To The Brink follows the life of taxi driver, Malcolm Cooper, who has been in the business for thirty-eight years. It relates how he got into taxi driving after trying a number of different jobs and how much he loved the work, and the contact with his passengers, regular or otherwise and fellow taxi drivers. He was involved in the school run, the trips to the doctor, the dentist and the hospital and became good friends with a lot of his regulars.Like all jobs it has its frustrations and bad days, but as Malcolm says there was never a day that he did not want to go to work.Everything changes though and the time comes when he feels it is time to call it a day, hand in his badge and move on into retirement. A different type of life beckons.
Dropped Over the Edge
Malcolm was a taxi driver in Canterbury for nearly 40 years. His insight into the taxi world and the regulations that went with it were brought to our attention in Taken for a Ride, published back in 2002. Nearing retirement age and disillusioned with his taxi life, he again put pen to paper and Driven to the Brink was published. He retired a month before his 65th birthday, on the day his badge expired - he was Dropped Over the Edge. A very pleasant experience he feels!

The Ocean Class of the Second World War
This new book tells the story of the Ocean class of standard cargo ships, their design, building, and careers, and the author places them firmly in the context of the battle of the Atlantic which was raging at the time of the first launchings. They entered the vanguard of the Allied shipping effort at a time when the German U-boat threat was at its most dangerous, and British shipping resources were stretched to the limit. They were deployed in the North Atlantic, on the long supply routes around Africa to the Middle East, in the Russian convoys, in operations in support of the invasions of North Africa and Italy and the land campaigns which followed, in the D-Day landings, and later amphibi...
The Birth of Independent Air Power
In forming the Royal Air Force on 1 April 1918, Britain created the world’s first independent air service. Britain entered the First World War with less than 200 ill-assorted flying machines divided between the army and the navy, but by the end of the war the RAF mustered almost 300,000 personnel and 22, 000 aircraft. Originally published in 1986, more than 65 years after the event, the decision to form the RAF remained poorly understood and Malcolm Cooper presented the first detailed modern analysis of its creation, shedding new light on the process by which Britain entered the air age. Set against the background of the build-up of air power during the First World War, the book explains h...
