Another Day Like Yesterday

Another Day Like Yesterday is a collection of rollicking tales – some tall, most true – from Guy Clapshaw’s early days flying for Air New Zealand.

Back in the mid-1960s, the airline had just begun to expand from Tasman Empire Airways, a tiny three-aeroplane regional airline into Air New Zealand, to the international giant it is today.

Much like the airline itself, this book flits around New Zealand, sweeps across the vastness of Australia, island hops around the Pacific and then heads for the hustle and bustle of Asia.

Set at a time when air travel wasn’t just another mode of transport, the book’s pages hum with larger-than-life characters, tricky customers, sticky situations and laugh-out-loud scenarios.
