A rather famous Oz pilot is Dick Smith, the first person to fly a helicopter solo to the north pole and solo around the world (east-west). He has also gone around it north-south, built 3 different empires (electronics, Australian Geographic, Dick Smith Foods) which were sold for multiple millions, and all starting as a dyslexic who couldn't say his own name. He is obviously now over it but from a bad start he is making a fabulous finish.
