He is widely regarded as "father of the Australian aircraft industry" and has been described as "one of the towering figures in the history of Australian aviation covering, as he did, virtually all aspects of activities: pilot, designer of airframes and engines, entrepreneur and manager". He was knighted for his services to aviation in 1954 and was a winner of the Oswald Watt Gold Medal. This autobiography includes a foreword by Sir Robert Menzies.
