— Appears in: Northern Territory Historical Studies , no. 28 2017; (p. 34-42)

'Clyde Cornwall Fenton is well-known as the Northern Territory's first 'flying doctor'. Who hasn't read his book 'Flying Doctor', first published in 1947 and still in print? As the back cover blurb of the 1982 edition says: 

'This intrepid adventurer and self-taught pilot flew his own single engine Gypsy Moth, without navigation equipment, charts and landing strips .... A folk hero, he became a Territory legend during his lifetime.''  (Publication abstract)
