Softcover. Condizione: Good. Herbert John Louis Hinkler was a working-class lad, born in Bundaberg, Queensland, in 1892. From hisearliest years, Bert was captivated by stories of flight and, inspired by the Wright brothers, build his first plane while still ateenager. Determined to make a life of adventure, he became a mechanic for a barnstorming pilot before making his way toEngland. At the outbreak of World War I he joined up, becoming a decorated air gunner before achieving his pilot's wings inthe RAF. Ambition finally aligned with skill, and he became famous for his death-defying aviation triumphs. In 1928 he thrilled the world with his first solo flight from England to Australia, and another across the South Atlantic in 1931.Yet behind this publicly feted hero was a complex man who struggled to find his place in the world when not in the sky. Hedesperately clung to his dreams, despite the odds against him. Tragically, Bert's pioneering attempts came to an abrupt end on 7 January 1933, while attempting another solo flight from England to Australia.D. R. Dymock's insightful biography reveals the many intriguing facets of this outstanding aviator, the circumstances that led to that final, fatal flight, and the three women he left behind.
