Soft Covers. Condición: VG+. No Jacket. Photos Ilustrador. 1st. Sub-titled "The Remarkable Story of George Roberts" this book as well as recording the career of GR is also a potted history of Australia's flag carrier airline, Qantas. By the mid-1930s the airline was well established within Australia and looking to spreading its wings internationally. By then GR was also well versed in aviation engineering and in 1936 he gained a coveted position in the Qantas engineering department, where his brother was already emplpyed, against the policy to employ more that one person from the same family. He retired from the company in late 1970, havinge served with it from bi-planes to jet air liners, through the building of the airline to an international carrier, the era of the flying boat, through its rebuilding post-World War Two and the difficulties that conflict created, as well as the epic flights it instigated. GR was 90 when this book was published and much new light is shed on the airline's early days through his hands-on recollections, many cast with dinkum Aussie wit. If many of his anecdotes are new to Australian aviation history, so is much of the large collection of photographs and other material illustrating his book. A valuable addition to historic aviation literature. First edition from 2000 by Watermark Press, 196 pages including index, b/w photos throughout, plus few diagrams and document reproductions, small chapter head drawings are repeated in miniature top corner right hand pages. Stiff pictorial/art card covers are VG+, small paper square with gift inscription tipped in on half title, text block otherwise NF. Nº de ref. del artículo: 004415
