| book description |

Point Cook has helped to shape modern Australia. Near Melbourne on the shore of Port Phillip, it has been the location for a significant number of the countryâ€™s aviation â€˜firstsâ€™. From the birth of Australiaâ€™s military aviation, through the encouragement of fledgling civil air services, to the training of many of the countryâ€™s top military and commercial pilots, Point Cook has played a role second to none. Cultural historian Steve Campbell-Wright skilfully weaves a tale spanning a century that gives a glimpse into the often-secretive world behind the gates of the Birthplace of Military Aviation. The tale abounds with the personal stories of those who were there, providing a fascinating mix of triumph and tragedy in a world experienced by very few in the nationâ€™s past.
