EYRE PENINSULA AIRWAYS INAUGURAL FLIGHTS: 19 August 1929 (AAMC.143a) Wallaroo - Cowell flown cover, carried on the Junkers F13 VH-UKW and signed by the pilot, James Mollison. One of only two covers carried on this leg, both signed by the pilot. Cat.$600.In 1928–29, Morrison was working as an instructor with the South Australian Aero Club in Adelaide, leaving that position to become a pilot with Eyre Peninsula Airways and Australian National Airways. Whilst gaining a reputation as a playboy, Mollison was a skilled pilot who, like many others, took to record breaking as a means of "making his name." In July–August 1931, Mollison set a record time of 8 days, 19 hours for a flight from Australia to England, and in March 1932, a record for flying from England to Cape Town, in 4 days, 17 hours. Mollison had flown commercially for Charles Kingsford Smith's ill-fated Australian National Airways. During one of his commercial flights, he met the equally famous aviator Amy Johnson, whom he proposed to only eight hours after meeting her, and while still in the air. Johnson accepted; they married in July 1932, and she went off to break her husband's England to South Africa record. They were dubbed The Flying Sweethearts by the press and public. (Image)
