Dennis Pasco used a unique method of presenting the story of Marshall of Cambridge by using the autobiographies of eight of the Marshall test pilots to describe their involvement with aircraft from their earliest introduction to the airplanes, through their military training and transition into the fascinating world of flight testing and eventual retirement.
     The eight pilots, in writing of their own life and the memories of their life of aircraft testing, each brought enough of their association with Marshall into each chapter to provide a documented history of their version of the history of the company. In addition, anecdotes, descriptions of the dangerous encounters with other aircraft, aircraft problems and weather, all of which were down played as most test pilots are wont to do, make this a most interesting and readable book. The reader will soon notice that the information is presented as written as an engineer or test pilot would write a report on a project, a maximum of information using a minimum of words. 
     The non-British reader must keep in mind that it was written by British pilots for a British audience and some words and phrases may not be understood but the general context and intent of the writing comes through nicely.  Although it is not presented as a technical historical book, it is a very well assembled book and one which the aviation minded person would enjoy.
