A history of Cook Strait Airways, 1935-1939 and some other airlines which cross Cook Strait, New Zealand.
Lost--without Trace?
Richard Waugh is a Wesleyan Methodist minister, involved in evangelical mission and community service, especially in the Howick/Botany area of Auckland, where he lives. He also serves at National Superindendent of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of New Zealand. Waugh, also a prominnent New Zealand aviation historian with a particular interest in pioneering airlines from the 1930s to the 1960s, is committed to taking aviation history to the mainstream of New Zealand social history.
A New Church for a New Century
Auckland's East City Wesleyan is one of the prominent English-speaking multi-cultural churches of the Methodist/Wesleyan stream in the South Pacific. The story of East City Wesleyan's first ten years reveals much creativity, innovative outreach and dynamic church planting - in one of the most secular environments of the world. Insights and learning are relevant to the wider church in New Zealand and beyond. With numerous photographs. Rev Dr Richard Waugh is the Senior Pastor of East City Wesleyan and has more than 25 years of pastoral experience.
Hoki to Haast
New Zealand's first licensed airline to fly scheduled services, operated the Hokitika to Haast route on the scenic West Coast of the South Island. Air Travel (NZ) Ltd was launched in 1934 by legendary pilot Bert Mercer, the first Kiwi to achieve 10,000 flying hours. The airline also pioneered airmail, air-ambulance, alpine tourist flying and versatile freight work. Illustrated by many rare photographs this book tells the story of de Havilland Fox Moths, Dragonflies and Dominies and how these biplanes became indispensable to the isolated people of South Westland. The sturdy fabric covered, wooden and wire aircraft flew in demanding weather, mostly fully loaded, to landing strips on beaches, riverbeds and in the bush. After Mercer's tragic death, National Airways Corporation (NAC) and West Coast Airways continued the air service with Chief Pilots Norm Suttie, Frank Molloy and Brian Waugh. The world's longest running de Havilland biplane air service lasted until 1967; an unforgettable mix of excitement and routine, romance and tragedy, ably demonstrating the growing role of aviation for ordinary New Zealanders.
Shot Over Into the Shotover
"In New Zealand de Havilland DH89 Rapides/Dominies have been continuously flying longer than any other aircraft type - for over 80 years - and with no fatalities. But experienced pilot Brian Waugh's Dominie was forced down by engine failure into Queenstow's Shotover River. This book tells the absorbing story of this unusual accident. The subsequent intrigue involved engine reliability issues, an inadequate accident investigation, and how Waugh, a licensed aircraft engineer, while revovering from his injuries, happened by chance to inspect one of the engines being dismantled for overhaul. What he discovered led him to relenlessly advocate for a proper investigation ..."--Publisher's description.
