Annotation
Here are little known stories about 10 of Australia’s early aviators flying during the early settlement of the Australian colonies. Told from either first or third person perspectives, each story provides insight into how these early aviators sought to be close to their ‘Motherland’ and also provide emergency medical support. Interesting historical insights into early aeronautics in Australia.
