ABOUT
The story of the Walsh brothers and the New Zealand Flying School 1910 - 1924.
The New Zealand Flying School was formed in 1915, by the Walsh Brothers, Leo and Vivian, to train pilots for the Royal Flying Corps. The school flew a fleet of home-built and imported flying boats from Mission Bay on Auckland's Waitemata Harbour. Over 100 pilots trained at the school, most of them going on to serve in the First World War, including ace Keith Caldwell.
The flying school was sold to the New Zealand Government in 1924 after struggling to survive after the end of the war.
