About

Published in Conjunction with Flying Doctor Service of Australia, Sydney (1947), this is the story of one of the greatest achievements in Australian history " The Flying Doctor Service".

This thrilling account of the medical service to the sparsely populated interior of Australia is written in popular style for the laity. The Reverend John Flynn, appreciating the problem, set out to do something about it. In 1912 he founded the Australian Inland Mission. In 1917 the mission board began advocating the establishment of radio communications and airborne doctors. It was not until 1928 that the first mission radio station was erected, and it did not begin operations until 1929. Two years later Allan Vickers became the first of the flying doctors. The service now has about 24 base radio stations. By means of this service instructions in the first aid treatment of patients in isolated places may be given, and if necessary, doctor and nurse are flown to the patient. Patients needing hospitalization are flown to one of the mission infirmaries. The service has saved many lives that otherwise would have been lost.

Illustrated with monochrome maps and photographs, maps on end papers.
