Aviators

Aviators

William Joy

Because of its comparative isolation, Australia was one of the first countries to realise what a boon the fling machine could be. Practical visionaries foresaw the day when the island continent would not be half a world away but half a week and even half a day-from the great centres of population.

For this reason it is not surprising that some of the great names of aviation are those of Australians. The stories of these men are told in these pages-Hinkler, Kingsford-Smith, Ulm, Hubert Wilkins, Ross and Keith Smith and a host of others.

This is the authentic story of aviation in Australia, full of high drama and heartbreak for those who played the leading roles. (dust Cover)

This is a 1971 edition of a book first published in 1965. It is in good condition showiing some signs of wear and tear to the dust cover. The pages are very clean and unmarked. The photos are intact and in good condition. A terrific book for the collector of aviation books and especially on the history of aviation in Australia
