Octavo, photo. illus. boards (hardcover), gilt letters, v, 366 pp. Near-Fine, with former-owner bookplate and darkening to pages; in a Very Good, mylar protected dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: This is a 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 theR. 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 hetells 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 1930s and 1940s. As recently as 1951 he commanded Frigate Bird II on its historic return flight between Australia and South America. Such pioneering flights were as dangerous and demanding as they were compelling. On the first West-East crossing of the Pacific from Australia to the United States in 1934, the Altair, of which Sir Gordon was navigator, spun uncontrollably in a dive of over 10,000 feet. Even more appalling was a 1935 trans-Tasman flight during which the author repeatedly had to crawl out onto the wibng struts of the Fokker Southern Cross and, using an improvised container, transfer oil from the dead starboard engine to the failing port engine. Almost a decade later, on a 1944 exploratory flight of the Central Pacific from Mexico to the Marquesas, the Catalina Frigate Bird was trapped by a hurricane in the lagoon of isolated Clipperton Island. And in 1951, in the process of a rocket-assisted take-off from rough open ocean, Frigate Bird II veered directly toward the sharp cliffs of Easter Island, where she had just refuelled. The Sky Beyond is an important addition to aviation history and an exciting testimonial to human ingenuity and courage. The author's love of flying shines through every page. Sir Gordon honestly appraises himself and his fellows as men incapable of living any other life without withering and dying. Anyone wh has ever shared or felt the attraction of the sky beyond will find his story impossible to put down. Aviation, Pilot Biography, British History, Military History, Adventure. tslic.
