Koene Parmentier’s book, In Drie Dagen Naar Australië, was originally published in 1935 and has recently been translated from Dutch for the 90th Anniversary of the air race.

This first English edition by the captain of the Uiver, To Australia in Three Days, gives a rare insight into the Uiver’s participation in the London-Melbourne Air Race – a precursor to the international air travel we know today – and an almost minute-by-minute commentary on the drama that unfolded over Albury that stormy night in 1934.

Paperback, 156 x 234mm, 320 pages, including 15 diagrams and maps, 109 photographs, and a new foreword by Dick Smith AC.

This book is extraordinary because it is the pilot’s version of events, which was a real highlight to me, and this is the first time it has been translated to English, through the astute effort of the Uiver Memorial Community Trust. I think it is a wonderful book. Congratulations to everyone involved. Dick Smith
