Flying Doctor $30.00

This book was first written and published in 1947 by Clyde Fenton about the years he spent as a flying doctor in the Northern Territory before the Second World War.

Fenton was a self taught pilot, and flew without the aid of any navigation equipment, air charts, and often proper landing strips. Consequently the book has an array of photos depicting the demise of his various aircraft.

He became a legend during his lifetime, and now Flying Doctor is available again in this limited  facsimile edition for people who enjoy reading about this colourful and compassionate man.

Traeger - Pedal Radio Man  $21.95

Fred McKay

Traeger loved the smell of gum trees on the banks of bush creeks. He found a strange happiness in giving what he called 'a big surprise' to isolated families in the Never Never who were completely cut off from the rest of the world. He gave them the miracle pedal radio so they could call the flying doctor, and he kept on bringing the benefits of wireless to people of the bush all his life.

Traeger was a revolutionary and didn't know it.
