Douglas Whitfield has written many aviation magazine articles and established as a writer with his first aviation book Call of the Kyeema. He holds tertiary qualifications in flying--both fixed wing aircraft and helicopters--air traffic control, search and rescue, and airport management. Douglas has been flying for over fifty years and fully understands weather phenomena, air safety, aerodynamics and the remote Australian environment, where he has spent a great deal of his life. He is also a former army and air force officer and this service has given him excellent experience in the need for survival skills and personal discipline in order to appreciate life. His account of Wundarra-Bilyana is testimony to his experience, interest and knowledge of the subject.
