"Congratulations to David Jones for such a well written and impressively researched chronicle. Invaluable reading for those interested in the early development and history of flying boat operations in Queensland." Frank Kelly, ex Flying Boat Pilot, Barrier Reef Airways - "David Jones's detailed account of the flying boat operations on the Brisbane River has been well researched. He describes in detail the dreams, the frustrations, the bureaucratic barriers and interference as well as the successes of a band of extraordinary fliers whose vision was to expand aviation transport with flying boats. Enthusiasts and historians alike will enjoy both a factual and technical story that reveals the difficulties of a time when finances were scarce and creating a successful airline in an extraordinarily difficult environment was a real challenge." John Wilson, Flying Boat Historian
