The flying duck was from Ancient Chinese Hidden Weapons by Douglas H. Y. Hsieh. It was an odd, small press book, like so many kung fu books. And if memory serves, the flying duck had a version where the wings worked as retractable blades. It's out of print, but I have a copy.
The only duck-on-a-stick reference I have is in the Shaolin Encyclopedia, I think. It's all in Chinese, and I'd have to really dig to find it because it's for volumes. The form is documented there in these rather primative line drawings, with accompanying descriptions.
You see why I went from fencing to kung fu? Kung fu is far more colorful (plus I look horrid in knickers, especially white knickers).
