With the success of The Desert Column in 1932, Idriess wrote this series of mini-biographies on Australia' s World War One Flying aces - John Duigan, Harry Cobby, Ross Smith, Oswald Watt, Gordon Taylor, Frank McNamara - our first V. C. aviator, and the post war acrobatics of Macintosh and Paper. Introducing the lot with a background piece on Lawrence Hargraves, Idriess shows how innovative our early airmen were, and details acts of bravado and downright lunacy in these earliest machines. Fully illustrated, and glows with his unique style.
Ion Idriess (1889-1979) is one of Australia' s best-loved writers, with fifty-six books to his credit and millions of copies sold. When he returned from the First World War he wrote The Desert Column, about his experiences with the 5th Light Horse. Prospecting for Gold was his first major successful work; it immediately sold out and was reprinted constantly in the following years, as were many of his books. Idriess spent much of his life travelling throughout Australia, collecting material for his true-life stories, including Flynn of the Inland, The Red Chief and Nemarluk. He was awarded the O. B. E. in 1968 for his contribution to Australian literature.
