Don Jessen

Don Jessen learned to fly in the 1979s, giving it away when marriage, mortgages and business opportunities got in the way. Writing about the aircraft has reignited his interest in aeroplanes - especially older aircraft - big time. He also has a passion for old caravans, boats, cars and motorcycles. He is the author of several books including Retro Caravans - Vantastic Kiwi Collections. A Great Indoors for the Great Outdoors - the Story of Liteweight Caravans and the beautiful Retro and Vintage Boats - Kiwi Portraits.
