Agree-its not a bad read BUT its missing massive chunks as I have stated in a previous post.
One book that is aviation based that I just finished is the story of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith by Peter Fitzsimons- a top read.
Smithy was a larrakin / legend and a top pilot. How he survived some of the flights in the "Old Bus" is beyond me.
I asked the CSM how come we don't have... "Welcome to Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport"....as part of the welcome PA anymore.

Its sad to also read about the pioneers of Q.A.N.T.A.S. ( in this book)- they too were hero's with a true Aussie spirit.
Fast Forward to 2010 ...........
