Foreword by Jim Wight son of James Herriot & author of The Real James Herriot James Herriot became through his writing the most famous veterinarian in the world. Two things to me stand out as integral to his worldwide success as an author: his books are not just about vets treating animals they are about people & he writes about others not just himself. Malcolm Welshman's book Pets in a Pickle is too not just a collection of animals stories. The author paints a vivid picture of many fascinating characters
- human & animal
- resulting in a most enjoyable & amusing read. The veterinary profession is one enriched by the most interesting & challenging situations wherein the veterinary surgeon is confronted by a variety of unforgettable characters. Malcolm Welshman's experiences as a young veterinary surgeon recounted in a most readable way illustrate this very well. It is often said that vets have little interest in books or TV programmes about other members of their profession. It is regarded as 'old hat' revealing nothing new. I did not find this to be the case with this book. The author describes his early life in practice in a most entertaining way. The book is extremely easy to read & the text gives the reader a most enjoyable insight into the unpredictable but fascinating life of the veterinary surgeon. I wish this book every success. _____________________________________________________________________ When Paul Mitchell arrives for his first day's work at Prospect House Veterinary Hospital he never expects this...

The Pfalz Flugzeug Werke located at Speyer am Rhein in Bavaria was the third in the great triumvirate (along with Fokker & Albatros) of German fighter manufacturers in the Great War. When World War I broke out in 1914 Pfalz initially produced copies of the Morane-Saulnier parasol monoplanes for the German air service. With the advent of the famed Fokker Eindeckers with their synchronized machine guns Pfalz entered the fighter market with the Pfalz E.I & its successors all monoplanes which were similarly armed. Though never as as numerous as the Albatros or Fokker designs the D III/IIIa was flown in combat by many well-known aces: Werner Voss Carl Degelow Erich Lowenhardt & the balloon buster Fritz von Roth among others. This book examines the little-known aircraft flown by these incredible men. ...
