Description

The Sky Beyond by Sir Gordon Taylor, G.C. 'This is the rich personal chronicle of flying during the years 1916 to 1951, written by one of Australia's brilliant pioneer aviators, Sir Gordon Taylor. The author's first plane was a little Sopwith Scout fighter which he flew on the French Front in 1917. Twenty-five years later, in 1942, he flew Liberator bombers across the Atlantic for the R. A. F. - one of the few pilots to fly actively in both World Wars. But the heart of this aviator is in pioneering flying. In The Sky Beyond he tells of his perilous exploratory flights - many of them in the great Catalina flying boats - across the Tasman Sea and the Indian and Pacific Oceans during the 1930's and 1940's.' The dust jacket has medium general wear with small tears on the top of the spine and stains spots across the top edges. The book however remains tight and bright.
