Admissions to Peterhouse
Originally published in 1939, this book presents a register of admissions to Peterhouse College, Cambridge during the period October 1911 to December 1930. The text consists of abstracts from the College Historical Registers, supplemented by information from other sources. A detailed introduction is also provided, together with information on Masters and Fellows elected to the College during the period October 1911 to December 1938. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of Peterhouse and Cambridge University.
The Quick and the Dead
Written in 1956 but still relevant and throught-provoking today, this book is an absolute revelation on test flying with the British aircraft organisations and manufacturers in the 1950s. Written with refreshing frankness and truth - which allegedly finally cost him his job at the "Daily Express" - this account details what really went on behind the scenes in the defence world. Waterton pulls no punches in recounting the non-cooperation of civil servants in improving/altering recognised faults (often minor) when developing aircraft - to the cost of lives lost. This is an astonishing insight into the workings of the British aircraft industry.
