Air Disaster Canberra: The Plane Crash That Destroyed a Government by Andrew Tink

$45.00 AUD

Category: Special Orders

1940. Wartime Australia. Key members of Menzies' government die in a fiery plane crash. What went wrong and what happened next? In August 1940 Australia had been at war for almost a year when a plane a Hudson A16-97 carrying ten people, including three cabinet leaders, crashed into a ridge near Canber ra. In the ghastly inferno that followed the crash, the nation lost its key war leaders. Over the next twelve months, it became clear that the passing of Geoffrey Street, Sir Henry Gullett and James Fairbairn had destabilised Robert Menzies wartime government. As a direct but delayed consequence, John Curtin became prime minister in October 1941. Controversially, this book also tells the story of whether Air Minister Fairbairn, rather than the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) pilot Bob Hitchcock, had been at the controls. Andrew Tink tells an engrossing and dramatic tale of a little-known aspect of Australias political history. ...Show more

The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman

$22.99 AUD

Category: Special Orders

The Imperfectionists is a novel about the peculiar people who write and read an international newspaper based in Rome: from the obituary reporter who will do anything to avoid work, to the dog-obsessed publisher who seems less interested in his struggling newspaper than in his magnificent basset hound, Schopenhauer. While the news of the day rushes past, the true front-page stories for all of them are the blunders and triumphs of their own lives. Rachman's debut novel is beautifully written, intelligent, and makes us care about people who are both flawed and immensely engaging - about their lives, their families, and about the larger family that is their newspaper. The Imperfectionists touches on the fall of newspapers, and the rise of technology but, above all, it is a wise and moving novel about unusual and endearing characters. ...Show more

Great Western Railway Pannier Tanks by Robin Jones

$79.99 AUD

Category: Special Orders

The name 'Great Western Railway' immediately conjures up images of Stars, Castles and Kings, the legendary express passenger locomotives that were the envy of the world in their day. However, the Swindon empire also produced extensive fleets of all-purpose tank engines - everyday reliable workhorses and unsung heroes - which were also standout classics in their own right. The most distinctive and immediately recognizable type in terms of shape, all but unique to the GWR, was the six-coupled pannier tank. Great Western Railway Pannier Tanks details the history and development of all the classes of pannier tanks, from the mid-Victorian age to the end of London Underground steam locomotives in 1971. It has a particular focus on the 5700 class, the second-biggest British steam locomotive class of all. GWR pannier tanks are still giving sterling service today, both on heritage railway and hauling specials on the main line - one has even pulled a Royal Train! ...Show more
