Extract

It is an honour and a privilege to commemorate the memory of Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith. It is 41 years since he linked by air the United States and Australian nations. Those 41 years have been years of phenomenal progress and growth from the infant industry of that time to the monumental industry of today.

Forty-one years ago the flying time from San Francisco to Australia was 83½ hours and the elapsed time was 10 days.
