This book tells the story of Wellington engineer Percy Fisher and his pioneering monoplane, inspired by the French Blériot design. It documents the historic flights of June 1913 near Carterton, when Reginald White achieved the first controlled, sustained flight of an aircraft built entirely in New Zealand. An interesting account of the early development of aviation in the Wellington and Wairarapa regions.
