Jimmy Woods was one of the pioneers and legends of Australian aviation. In 1924, after service in the RAF, Jimmy joined the fledgling Western Australian Airways as a pilot on its north west service and later establishing the east west run between Perth and Adelaide. During this time he took part in a number of daring searches and rescues including that for Charles Kingsford Smith. In 1933 Jimmy made an attempt on the record for a solo flight from Australia to England and in a year later was a participant in The Great Race.
