Book excerpt: "Ever thought of flying solo across the Tasman Sea in a rickety old biplane such as a Tiger Moth? Over the past 60 years, many people have accomplished this feat flying in a wide variety of aircraft and in both directions. However, the first man to make the solo crossing was Guy Menzies. The son of a Sydney doctor, Guy had learnt to fly with the Aero Club of New South Wales while in his late teens. He was just 21 when he made the crossing in January 1931. This flight was only one chapter in a very full and adventurous life - one that ended far too early." -Inside front cover.
