About

The story of the first air crossing of the South Pacific Ocean.

In March 1951 the Catalina flying boat Frigate Bird, commanded by Captain P. G. Taylor, made the first air crossing of the South Pacific Ocean from Sydney to Valparaiso, Chile.

Sir Patrick Gordon Taylor served as a navigator on pioneering flights with Charles Kingsford Smith in 1935. He subsequently made a number of trans-pacific flights in Frigate Bird I & II in 1944 & 1951.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
