“This factual and human account of the beginnings of commercial aviation in Australia, and its development during a period over 40 years, presents a fascinating and little-known picture.
By portraying it in the form of a partial autobiography enlivened with anecdotes of characters and incidents encountered during the course of his aviation career, the author has succeeded in covering an historical skeleton with the living flesh and blood of personality and humour.”
