Air Chief Marshal Sir Angus Houston AK, AFC (Ret'd) on Courage in the Skies From the challenges of its earliest days to the significant but little known involvement in Australia's World War II campaigns and its surge into the jet age and beyond, these are the stories of the men and women, the risk takers and the characters who shaped Qantas.

It is the story of how a uniquely Australian style shaped the safest airline in the world.
