Peter Fitzsimons promises this book will be more than a simple biography of Kingsford Smith, and he more than delivers on his promise. His contextual approach to history, giving an insight into all the factors that influenced the events of his aviators, gives it a depth and meaning beyond what most authors even try to achieve. He paints his characters as complex and multi-dimensional characters and gives us a feeling for them as real people, not just achievers of greaqt feats. Perhaps best of all is his gentle and uncontrived treatment of the many poignant moments in his story, and yet he manages a depth of pertinent fact that would do any dry history proud.
