Found this book from 1964 amongst my late father's books.

Great story about an ex-WW1 fighter pilot and WW2 Catalina flying boat pilot, who set up a flying boat cruise business amongst the south pacific islands based out of Sydney Australia.
Relates how he purchased an ex-BOAC Sandringham flying boat, flew it to Sydney and started doing trips out to Tahiti, Bora Bora etc.

Fascinating and really worth a read if you can locate a copy
