The story of Australians in the air is dramatic and romantic. It includes a host of colourful characters, especially in the days of seat-of-the-pants aviation. Australia has had a deep impact on aviation history for a comparatively small population.

In this book, Gregory Copley presents a fast-paced survey of Australian aviation from the earliest days until the mid-1970s. By linking together the stories of many Australian aviators, both famous and obscure, he gives a clear picture of the development of Australian aviation. (book flap)
