Smithy The Life of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith
London: Warner Books, 1999. Octavo, printed wrappers, (xxvi), 454 pp., eight double-sided plates. Heavy shelf wear and taped-marked on printed wrappers, foxing throughout, otherwise a good copy. Written with the co-operation of 'Smithy's' widow and family, this illuminating and authoritative biography looks beyond his flying exploits to reveal a complex, reckless character obsessed by fame and yet, paradoxically, one who suffered from a morbid fear of the sea.
