    About the Book

    Edit

    Ray Parer's own story of his flight to last place in the 1934 Macrobertson Centenary Air Race from London to Melbourne. He flew with Geoff Hemsworth in a Fairey Fox I. It was a typical relentless adventure that earned the 'Battling Parer' moniker, in a plane that Parer later described as cursed. The other, newer Fairey Fox piloted by Gilman and Baines crashed near Palazzo, San Gervasio in Italy that killed all aboard.
