The covers are bumped, scuffed/scratched, creased and soiled. Pages tanning. Inscription on title page. "Author Glenn Cousins, a Rockhampton identity and himself the son of an aviation pioneer, is an accomplished writer. This book is the result of many years of dedicated research of Australian aviation history enacted by our own Central Queensland "Early Birds", whose first aeroplanes were mostly built of wood, wire and fabric with no instruments of any significance. They relied on their own skills of navigation, their ability to repair and service their own aircraft and only by the 'Grace of God' land at or near their destination on primitive or unmade airfields. The names of John Hobler, Ann Travers, Lester Brain, 'Skip' Moody, Ron Adair, Vic Roffey, 'Wizard' Stone, Harold and Donald Fraser, together with other pioneer aviators of Central Queensland, make this a vibrant narrative in comprehensive and chronological detail embracing some incredible tales of luck and flying skills in daring pioneering escapades."
