About the book >.>.> SINCE the last war much has been written about my son Ned but no really clear and intimate picture of his life and work in the Royal Air Force has been presented. This book fills the gap and no one else but Mrs. Sydney Smith could have given such a delightful and detailed account of this period of his life. “The Golden Reign” was his own name for the happy time he spent at the R.A.F. Flying-Boat Station Mount Batten under the command of the author’s husband. That it was a time of complete contentment can be appreciated by the many letters he wrote while he was there some of which are contained in the book. Ned was on terms of great friendship with the Sydney Smiths and spent much of his leisure hours with them sharing their home-life and family doings listening to music in their house amusingly christened by him “The Fisherman’s Arms” or taking the author with him when he explored.
