The Turbulent life of Charles Kingsford Smith: King of the Air.
Saturday 27 July 2pm,
Meeting Room, 25 Inglesby Road, Camberwell.
Charles Kingsford Smith was the most commanding flyer of the golden age of aviation. In three years, he broke records with his astounding voyages: the first trans-Pacific flight from America to Australia, the first flight across the Tasman and the first non-stop crossing of the Australian mainland. He did it all with such courage, modesty and charm that Australia and the world fell in love with him.
