Bert Henkler signed postcard – Australia’s pioneering aviator, 1928
A signed commemorative postcard celebrating the incredible solo flight of Captain B. Hinkler from England to Australia in 1928 — one of the great feats of early aviation.
Captain Bert Hinkler, born in Queensland, Australia, was a trailblazing aviator known for his pioneering solo flight from England to Australia in 1928. Piloting the Avro Avian G-EBOV, Hinkler covered over 11,000 miles in 16 days — halving the previous record and completing the journey solo for the first time. His “plucky” flight earned him a permanent place in the annals of aviation history.
