Synopsis
As a pilot and a fisherman, Lieutenant Commander Terence Horley traveled between two very different worlds. From the remote highlands of Scotland to the quiet creeks of Cornwall, Horley details his adventurous life in Fishing and Flying. Though the roar of a two-thousand horsepower engine may seem incompatible with a love of quiet waters, Horley sees them as complementary. He describes packing his fishing-rod and a box of flies into the gun wells of a fighter or the baggage space of a transport plane, so he is always prepared for an impromptu fishing trip. He recounts how he encountered a fighter pilot during the height of the Battle of Britain beside a Hampshire chalk stream. Both men had flown many hours that day in almost continuous combat with the enemy, and they discovered the peace for which they were struggling on the banks of that simple stream. Written with knowledge and zest and including woodcut illustrations throughout, Fishing and Flying displays the simple beauty of both the open air and its freedom and of the countryside’s quiet rivers and lochs, making it a wonderful addition to the In Arcadia series.

"As a pilot, the author flies from the remote highlands of Scotland to the quiet creeks of Cornwall, packing into the gun wells of a fighter, or the baggage space of a transport plane, his fishing-rod and a box of flies." "From [the sky] he can survey a river and note the good lies or discover little lochs which from the ground might never be located. He can find from his aerial viewpoint the route to such unknown waters, and when he returns to base he can set out on foot to reconnoitre. He has used a plane for shooting-up poachers seen to be fishing his water, though future trespassers upon his preserves will be thankful that the war is over." (Country Sportsman, April 1948).
