That Gallant Gentleman
Kenneth R. Dutton
Coming soon: Australia's past is filled with extraordinary people. Charles George Gray, for example. As a young Scots officer in the British army, he saw action in India, Spain, and Portugal, and was actually present at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. He subsequently came to Australia where he made a significant mark. His whole story is remarkable, but it is the hand-written memoir of his army years that stands out – all carefully transcribed and presented here by author Kenneth R. Dutton. Together with Dutton's explanatory chapters and notes, and diary entries by Gray, it gives you a first-hand glimpse of a special man...and of a world now gone. |

The Sky Racers
Peter Maiden
Coming soon: In 1919 the world was still suffering from the enormous losses due to the Great War. Yet that same conflict had brought forth men and machines capable of fulfilling the age-old dream of manned flight. And this was the year of one of the first great air races -- from England to Australia. Peter Maiden, backed by his intensive research, tells the story of those who tried, those who lost, and those who won. |
