Publishers Description: Hudson Fysh founded Qantas, and for more than thirty years he steered it through a series of adventures and misadventures, triumphing over men like Kingsford Smith and Ulm in the battle for vital airmail subsidies. An extraordinary man, he was idolized by his employees and frequently at loggerheads with his colleagues on the board, until his final controversial dismissal. This is an immensely readable and often funny story about Qantas and the man who created it.
