I have just read a fantastic book which I highly reccomend.
From The Ground Up
-An informal history of agricultural aviation in New Zealand
by Boyce Barrow 2005
I bought this on a whim, and once I started I found it hard to put down, it is written in a fast paced and affable style (similar to Bryan cox)and is really enjoyable to read (you keep on wanting to know what happens next). The storey follows Mr Barrows return from service overseas and into early ag flying in Tiger Moths and onto helicopters where he was instrumental in setting up and operating one of the countries larger helicopter operations through to his retirement.
Copies are availiable here and there (easy to spot, the cover has a blue background with a B&W photo of an ag-Tiger buzzing a cow) or from the author himself;
