History of Gisborne based East Coast Airways.
This company was the first New Zealand airline to be licensed and the first to operate twin engined aircraft, de Havilland Dragons, from early 1935. This book tells the adventures of the aviation pioneers - joyriding off beaches, hand-swung propellers, forced landings and a converted tramcar for a passenger terminal.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images, including a map.
