Publisher's Synopsis

The author tells us this will be his last book. Fittingly, it tells the story of the Luton Minor and Arthur's involvement with it. The Luton Minor had been designed pre-war for the home-built amateur, and by the good fortune of having the proper paperwork at a time when paperwork was king, in revived form, it became the first post-war design for amateur construction. Arthur partnered up with the original designer and, before they fell out, developed the Luton LA.4a Minor, plans of which were sold all over the world and later the LA.5a Major. But that's only part of the story. The book is illustrated with many photographs of the author, including him building an aeroplane in the domestic surroundings of his folks' house in Pinner.
