Kingsford Smith and the Southern Cross origin tale
The Southern Cross arose from Wilkins Fekker aircraft parts and a single finned Fokker plane. Captain Kingsford Smith rebuilt it with Wright motors and faced early peril during attempts to beat the world air speed record. He, a Brisbane native, served with the Aussies in WWI and joined the ill fated Gallipoli expedition.
