Sir Charles Kingsford Smith was one of the original flying Pathfinders, a man who contributed a major share to man's conquest of the air. This feature is a biography of Sir Charles, played by Ron Randell, and his struggles to fly the Pacific. The man who founded Australian National Airway and the man who fought to establish an airmail service to New Zealand, Sir Charles' career affords ample opportunity for drama and adventure. There's a little romance in this feature, too, but emphasis is on the early days of air power. The screenplay was written by John Chandler and Alec Coppel with Ken G. Hall directing. There's an effective score by Alfred Hill.
