AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Here are the amazing true stories of Smithy, Ross and Keith Smith, Bert Hinkler, Amy Johnson and Nancy Bird-Walton... and many more, less famous but no less brave. Great Australian Aviation Stories includes tales of our early outback aviation pioneers and daring feats of bravery by our flyers in both World Wars. Stirring first hand accounts of history-making flights across uncharted oceans and continents by Kingsford Smith and Ross and Keith Smith go hand in hand with the history of towns like Mildura and Narromine, which became aviation centres and remain part of our heritage.'
