At last the Petter story has been told in full and the foreword by David Gibbings of this excellent long-awaited book states that it is not simply a catalogue of aircraft design and problems solved, it also relates a tragic human story. Glyn Davies not only explores Petter's life but also expands on the nature of his remarkable aircraft and why they are so legendary. The Lysander, Canberra, Lightning and Folland Gnat are household names in the world of aviation. They were each radical in design, they were all successful in Britain and overseas and they were all born of the genius of Teddy Petter.
