Reviews:-

This is a fantastic romp from 1938 to 1968 devoted to the hallowed name of Auster and all it stands for. Full of illustrations and personal anecdotes, this is a wonderful piece of work. - Reproduced from the April 2003 issue of Flypast Magazine (www.flypast.com) with permission from Key Publishing.

When I initially flicked through my copy of ‘Austers, Nearly All You Wanted to Know’ the first thing that struck me was the huge amount of work done and time spent by the editors in compiling the massive amount of information contained within its pages. The enormous number of photographs, press cuttings, interview results and Auster history collected must have been overwhelming.

The clever way the book has been put together makes sense of all this material.

Part one is the most comprehensive history of the beginning, middle and end of the Auster company’s story that one could ever imagine. The detail explored is minute and there are personal stories and humorous interludes as the story unfolds. One of my favourite parts is the bit where next door’s chickens turn green. I couldn’t put it down until I’d finished it.

The middle section is a remarkably complete pictorial history of the development of the aircraft themselves, their designations and ‘mark’ numbers. It suddenly made clear to me the sequence of model production which, until now has always been totally incomprehensible.

Reading section three is like rummaging through an old attic, or poking about in that heap of dusty history at the back of the hangar, with press cuttings and stories from ex-employees of the Auster company, all carefully presented and punctuated with remarkable old photographs. I was astounded to see the helicopter pictures!

It's such a shame then, that the production standard lets down the quality of the content. There are peculiar breaks in the text which can catch you out, and the printers have been a little economical with ink on my copy, so that its overall appearance is a little ‘grey’.

Having said that, there is no doubt at all that this book is going to be considered the definitive authority on Auster history and an absolute must for the library of anyone with the slightest interest in vintage aircraft. - Peter Wood - IAC News - February 2003
