Jim Sullivan will be running an interview with the author (yours truly) of Volume Two of A Passion For Flight - New Zealand aviation before the Great War on his well-known 'Sounds Historical' programe on National Radio at about 9.30pm this Sunday (11 August). Can also be heard later by way of a podcast through Radio New Zealand's website.

Errol

[Dave Homewood]

It's a great book, I have not finished reading it yet but will review it when I have done so. Well done once again Errol!

[errolmartyn]

A review of this book has just been published in the October issue of New Zealand Aviation News.

And here's another from an overseas source:

This is a magnificent book, the second in a series of three and one which reminds me of Peter Connon's superb history of aviation in Cumbria, Dumfries & Galloway. I say that because Errol has seemingly taken every available snippet of information relating to his subject, gathered every available photograph and blended them into a very readable account of New Zealand aviation in the five years leading up to the outbreak of the Great War.

New Zealand may have been isolated from the early centres of flying in Europe and North America but the dream of flight captured the imagination of a number of its inhabitants, who went on to attempt flight, both powered and un-powered. I found Appendix 5 a useful starting point to digest; this summarises the attempts at flight, successful and otherwise, and provided an outline chronology to follow.

The main chapters of the book take the reader step-by-step through various attempts made prior to the first successful one in February 1911, drawing on numerous contemporary sources (all listed in extensive endnotes). The names of most of the pioneers may be unfamiliar to readers from outside New Zealand but their efforts are all detailed. As the title suggests, the book doesn't just cover powered flight, ballooning and experiments with gliders are also covered. The work also covers New Zealanders who flew abroad and even attempts to bring flying demonstrations to the country. It concludes with a chapter devoted to the person who probably did most to progress early aviation in the country, J.W.H. Scotland.

Appendices include amendments to Vol l and lists of aviation-related patents taken out, both in New Zealand and by New Zealanders abroad. A brief glossary of contemporary aviation terms rounds things off.

The book is very well illustrated with drawings and numerous photographs. The latter are clearly printed with a sepia tint that gives a period feel to them. Apart from the obvious New Zealand market, this book should also appeal to anyone with an interest in the pioneering days of aviation.

Hi Errol, on pages 159 and 160 you talk about an Alec Barnard, and state he has been difficult to find details on. I just came across this snippet in the Waikato Independent newspaper dated 7th of October 1909. I wonder if this is the same man.

"At the Hamilton racecourse on Monday evening, a successful trial was made of an aeroplane constructed by a local resident named Barnard. Owing to the heavy state of the ground, the motor car which was towing the plane failed to get up sufficient pace to cause it to rise, but two horses attached to a waggon were then tried, and the plane rose gracefully to a height of about sixteen feet. It flew 100 yards, but, owing to neglect of one of the levers, dipped and struck the ground. The inventor intends to instal [sic] a powerful motor and conduct further experiments. He confidently believes he is in a fair way to possess a fast flying machine."
