Red Tail Skies: A Big Book of Qantas Stories by Jim Eames

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, with front cover right-hand corners now protected with book tape. Small mark on inside front cover and half-title page. Body text and binding are still very good.

From the challenges of its earliest days to the significant but little-known involvement in Australia's World War II campaigns and its surge into the jet age and beyond, these are the stories of the men and women, the risk takers and the characters who shaped Qantas.

Heroic, hilarious and sometimes just plain weird . . . Jim Eames shares great Qantas stories from World War II to the age of the jumbo and beyond. 'These are stories of passion and dedication, of risk and resilience, of excellence and Australian larrikinism, of inventiveness and determination.' Captain Richard Champion de Crespigny on The Flying Kangaroo.

'Jim Eames captures the experiences of a small band of brave, professional and pioneering aircrew who confronted the dangers of war.' Air Chief Marshal Sir Angus Houston AK, AFC (Ret'd) on Courage in the Skies.

First published as the best-selling Courage in the Skies and The Flying Kangaroo.
