Any of you Old Rhinebeck fans, and fans of old aircraft (I know there must be a few of you out there) who have not read this book, I highly recommend it.
I just finished reading it and can say that the stories contained in the book are all entertaining on one level or another. I was really great hear about Richard King's experiences flying some of his own aircraft, and some of ORAs.
Most of the stories deal with flights that went less than smoothly, and King's recollections of these flights, what he was thinking about, and the actions he took during them make for good reading.
There are lots of great pictures too!
Mr. King, if you should read this thread, I do have a question for you, or anybody else who may be in the know... was the fuel system on ORA's Camel standard, or was that just the way it was rigged on that particular reproduction?
