Heroic, hilarious and sometimes just plain weird...Jim Eames shares great Qantas stories from World War II to the age of the jumbo and beyond.

First published as the best-selling Courage in the Skies and The Flying Kangaroo

From the challenges of its earliest days to the significant but little known involvement in Australia's World War II campaigns and its surge into the jet age and beyond, these are the stories of the men and women, the risk takers and the characters who shaped Qantas.

Generous and richly told, Red Tail Skies is a warm-hearted reminder of why Qantas remains so important in the Australian psyche. It is the story of how a uniquely Australian style shaped the safest airline in the world.
