What comes across vividly in this boys-own-style adventure is that its author, Melbourne-based cinema owner, entrepreneur and adventurer Michael Smith, is a man of varied but pronounced passions. Whether it be for air adventure, film, cinema buildings, history or sailing, Smith is the type of person who throws himself wholeheartedly into projects – sometimes to his own detriment and danger. This account of his record-breaking 2015 solo journey retracing the 1938 Qantas Imperial and Pan Am flying-boat routes between Sydney, Southampton and New York in a small seaplane is totally engrossing, drawing on his trip diary, blog and memories to document a truly daring and extraordinary adventure. Full of anecdotes and quirky facts (who knew that choc tops are only sold in Australian cinemas?), it’s a highly entertaining read.
