Voor de liefhebbers van de Glycine Airmanmodellen: tijdens “Basel” heeft het boek over de Airman het levenslicht gezien.
Hieronder mijn exemplaar met mijn Airmannen erop.
Op de website van Glycine is er meer over te lezen, hierna een stukje tekst dat ik heb overgenomen.
Er zijn twee manieren om het boek in bezit te krijgen.
- het is te koop via Glycine
- je krijgt het gratis als je een nieuwe airman koopt
Zie het artikel "Baselworld 2010: Airman - the story continues"in deze link:

“Glycine Airman – a 24 hour timeline of flight” is the title of the new and so
far only book on the entire history of the Airman. The Dutchman, André
Stikkers who is the operator of the independent website
www.glycineairman.info, acted on his own initiative to produce a complete
work on the Glycine pilot watches from 1953 to the present day. The book
shows every generation of the legendary watches and provides meticulous
details on the technical features. However, there is also an historical section
handling the origin and the development of Airman watches.
The book was written with the agreement and support of Glycine Watch SA. “We
rummaged through our archives, studied details from the past anew and became much
better acquainted with the 1950’s management team,” says Katherina Brechbühler. This
closer examination of the company’s own history encouraged her to continue along the
path already embarked upon and to proceed with the Airman line as a mark of respect.
Customers purchasing an Airman in 2010 will also receive a copy of the book.
André Stikkers will be personally presenting his book at Baselworld on 17 and 18 March.
