NZ writer, Joanna Beresford, has published a novel based on the true story of the fateful attempted flight of George Hood and John "Scotty" Moncrieff from Australia to New Zealand in 1927.
Joanna's grandmother was one of George Hood's nieces and, although the narrative takes the form of a novel, it follows the tragic events of a flight which, it seems, so nearly succeeded.

Joanna very kindly assisted in my research for Peter FitzSimons' book on Sir Charles Kingsford Smith
