Descripción Paperbound 8vo (8.25 inches tall) 191 pages. Bibliography. Description: A few black and white photo illustrations. The publisher's blurb reads: ''Jimmy Woods was one of the pioneers and legends of Australian aviation. Best known to thousands of Western Australians as 'Woodsie' -- owner-operator for many years of a popular, battling air service to Rottnest Island - he had made his name a generation earlier as a pilot of extraordinary skill and resourcefulness. Recruited by Norman Brearley in 1924, following war service in the RAF, he joined the fledgling Western Australian Airways as pilot on its North-West contract service, transferring later to the pioneering East-West run (between Perth and Adelaide). During this time he took part in a number of daring search and rescues, including that for Charles Kingsford-Smith. In 1933, Jimmy made an attempt on the record of a solo flight from Australia to England and, a year later, was a participant in The Great Air Race. Julie Lewis has written a wide-ranging and clear-eyed biography of a man who was both in tune with and at odds with his time.''
