About this product

Product Information

Hubert Wilkins was truly the last - and one of the greatest - explorers. And much more than that. Born in South Australia, he spent much of his life outside the country - but always remained an Australian. He travelled through every continent and was a pioneer of aviation. He survived crashes and disasters, firing squads and sabotage, living long enough to be honoured by kings, presidents and dictators. He was a frontline photographer in World War I - and was twice decorated. He took the first ever film of battle and took the first moving images from an aircraft. He was the first man to fly across the Arctic Ocean, the first to fly in the Antarctic - and the first to fly from America to Europe across the then unknown Arctic (the New York Times called this 'the greatest flight in history'). In the 1930s he spent several years travelling in western Queensland and the Northern Territory - where many of his observations and views were ahead of their time. In the later years of his life he did work for the US military and intelligence - and in 1958 was buried at sea at the North Pole by the US Navy.

Love it
Should be compulsory reading for our school children. Wish I had the movie rites. Demonstrates struggle against adversity, determination, initiative, conviction all of the good traits our future generation should strive for.

I am so glad I found this book and will never forget Hubert Wilkins!!
I found this book utterly compelling and am so ashamed that we have not heard about this incredible man. Quoting the blurb on the back cover which says it all, he was 'a war hero, decorated in battle, a pioneer of photography at the battle field during WW1, a writer, spy, scientist an aviator in its fledgling years, a naturalist', 'he was the first man to fly in the Antarctic and the first to navigate a submarine under polar ice'. 'Born and raised in South Australia, Wilkins is one of the greats of history and his achievements in so many fields will never be equalled.' Simon Nasht's book kept me enthralled to the very end and is a book that will be taken from my book shelf and read again and again.
