About This Item
The Watermark Press, Sydney, Australia - 2000 softcover, 7¼" x 9¼", with card covers Book in AS NEW condition George Roberts saw his first aeroplane in 1917 (when he was 8), and took his first flight - in a flying boat - when he was ten. When this book was published he was the oldest living former employee of Qantas (and aged over 90). With his brother, he built a plane using plans in a magazine
and flew it, too. George Roberts, engineer, loved planes, speed, and Qantas, and his highly illustrated biography is wildly funny, uniquely Australian and a loving record of his service to aviation.
