The first 1/3rd of the book just goes through and tells of how many QANTAS aircraft have crashed in its history. It would be a fair topic to bring up, however I don’t see the relevance of aircraft being shot down in WW2, or brand new A model types in the 20s 40s crashing in the Australian outback, yes they crashed, but everyone crashed back then. Of the actual bits about the ‘Men who killed QANTAS’ there is very little. They state that some things they would have liked to have written were not allowed due fear of being sued.
Over all I was not that impressed with the book, I figure that if they had any sort of insider knowledge then they could have brought all the walls down with little effort.
Bit of a Michael Moore effort but in book form.
