SYNOPSIS: The commonwealth government offered a prize of 10,000 pounds for the first successful flight from Great Britain to Australia, in a machine crewed by Australians. This challenge inspired the greatest air race of all time. It was only 16 years since the first aeroplane flight and the only two types available were flimsy, cranky machines. This is a complete account of the race and the incredible adventures of the seven competing crews. Quantity Available: 1. Category: General, History, General, Military, History; ISBN: .
