From its earliest days, Qantas has captured the public’s imagination and attracted its fair share of unique characters. These are their stories told by a man who has Qantas running through his
veins. They are full of nostalgia for a company in its prime. They are hilarious, they are heroic, they’re odd. They are about the brilliant risk takers who made Qantas the safest airline in
the world. They are about the craziness of flying VIPs, and the strange pecadillos of chairmen and CEOs. There are stories about dangerous skies, the hazard of overseas postings and the spats
between flight and cabin crews. This is a warm-hearted look at the Qantas we love, and a reminder that despite its recent history, Qantas remains very much a part of the national psyche.
