ABOUT
This massive and comprehensive account of the early days of aviation in New Guinea.
It records pioneer flying in a county where "bush" operations are among the most difficult on the globe. It tells the remarkable story of the aeroplane in New Guinea, beginning in 1922 with a Curtiss biplane and ends in 1942 with Japanese bombers.
Wings of Gold shows why this short span of only 20 New Guinea years is highly significant in the history of world aviation.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
