"George Roberts was born in Ipswich, Queensland in 1909. He saw his first aeroplane, which landed in a paddock near his house, when he was eight and took his first flight in a flying boat on Moreton Bay in 1920 when he was 10. The Roberts boys were gifted engineers and in Qantas hangars from Perth to Surabaya and Rose Bay, they found the biggest tool shed a kid could ever want. This is the story of an Australian larrikin with a passion for engines, aeroplanes and speed, a man who witnessed and took part in many of the great events of the first century of Australian aviation. George has forgotten nothing, so his story is absorbing, often wildly funny and uniquely Australian. Many of the stories have never been told before, nor many of the photographs previously published." Weight (before packaging): 575g
