Australian history of aviation has borne witness to some of the world’s most audacious daredevils and dreamers. Their extraordinary exploits would read more like fiction had they not all been so meticulously documented as fact.

Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci

Box Kites to Boeings by Mal Walden delves into the captivating history of these pioneering figures and their incredible journeys through the skies.
