Bert Hinkler Triumphs In Tiny Plane Flight To Australia
In 1928 Bert Hinkler flew solo in a subcompact flivver with a 30 horsepower motor. He completed 1000 mile hops from London toward Australia, landing in India and Port Darwin after 1544 days on the road. His journey drew cheers from Australians and later he hinted at further long distance attempts with Capt. R. N. McIntosh.
