The stories told in this book, lead the reader through the beginning of aircraft manufacturing in New Zealand; touch lightly on the imperfections of man and man made machines; record the world-wide, warm hearted friendship of the Amateur radio movement and vividly recount the hazards and frustrations, a small dedicated band of New Zealand pilots faced in their efforts to deliver New Zealand manufactured aircraft to international customers. - book jacket
