ABOUT

The story of New Zealand's first licensed airline to fly scheduled services, operated the Hokitika to Haast route on the scenic West Coast of the South Island.
Air Travel (NZ) Ltd was launched in 1934 by legendary pilot Bert Mercer, the first Kiwi to achieve 10,000 flying hours. The airline also pioneered airmail, air-ambulance, alpine tourist flying and versatile freight work. This book tells the story of de Havilland Fox Moths, Dragonflies and Dominies and how these biplanes became indispensable to the isolated people of South Westland.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and illustrations.
