About

Biography of one of New Zealand's pioneering aviators.

'Popeye' Lucas must have had both flying in farming in his horoscope, for these two elements have dominated his life; and, for quite a long part of it he combined the two, for he was first a pioneer and then a leading practitioner of agricultural aviation.

He left farming in Otago to join the RAF just before WW2, during which he flew light and heavy bombers in the European theatre, and formed and commanded the RNZAF's first transport squadron in the Pacific. During these days, he acquired the DFC and bar, together with the nickname by which he is still universally known.

Illustrated with monochrome images.

Includes copy of booklet on Cecil Peak Station 1863.
