Looks interesting, I do love the cover photo, but then I am biased since I took it....

Looks interesting, I love the subject and have a couple of on it, but I haven't found one yet that is all-inclusive (or as any as one book can be).
There are plenty of semi-forgotten TV shows in the U.S. (and I'd guess Australia...recall the Bell 47 in "Skippy the Bush Kangaroo?...to those who don't know it, it was a marsupial equivalent of "Flipper,"...which had a Cessna 185 on floats) that had aircraft.
Just the other day on YouTube, I found an aviation anthology series from 1958 "Flight", that is so obscure the IMDB. doesn't have much on it.

I wonder if he ran it by the WIX brain trust? We know all the obscure ones (like the POF O-47 appearing in The Wreck of the Mary Deare). Plus I have all those photos of the Mosquitos and a Nord on the set of 633 Squadron - maybe next edition?
