14, 000 Miles Through the Air (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from 14, 000 Miles Through the Air

MY thanks are due to Captain Frank Hurley for his generous and energetic help in the writing of this book. Had it not been for his persuasion and hard work, I doubt if it even would have been accomplished. When it was first suggested to me that I should write an account of the V imy's flight from England to Australia, I'thought it a splen did idea and at once said that I would. That was 15 months ago and I have only just completed it I have tried to tell the story just as I remember it and without too much technical detail and in doing this my brother's diary has been of the greatest assistance.
