The piece traces Wordsworths youthful optimism and disillusion with revolutions, then celebrates the conquest of air travel as a force for peace and progress. It reviews Sir Rosas Smiths diary of the London to Adelaide flight, notes dramatic cloud-ocean ascent near Lyons, recounts Lieut McIntosh and Lieut Purers perilous journey, and honors Australian air navigation pioneers like Ross Smith.
