Jim Eames –
From the ridiculous to the downright dangerous, the story of Australian aviation is full of tales of adventure and nation building. It is also a story about tragedy and eccentric characters with wild larrikin spirits. Jim Eames brings together the great forgotten and untold tales of Australian aviation. There are the stories of the Catalina flying boats that were Australia’s only aviation link to the UK during World War II and that of Qantas’ record-breaking non-stop flight across the world, long-forgotten hijacks and the dramas of the Darwin airlifts after Cyclone Tracy.
