註釋

n the 1950s a daredevil band of ex-World War II pilots established an entirely new industry in New Zealand - aerial topdressing. They flew underpowered, overloaded, de Havilland Tiger Moths, pouring superphosphate fertiliser onto steep hill country farms. It was the most demanding and dangerous peacetime flying job in the world. They were proud to be called the 'super men.'When Douglas Macgillgray joined the RNZAF in 1952, all he wanted to do was learn how to fly fighters - and the air force was happy to teach him. But he didn't anticipate the other lessons in life, love and death he would learn along the way.Above all, he didn't bargain for the explosion of emotions and events the beautiful, headstrong, radical student Bernadette would provoke. Nor how she would cause him to be plunged into the exhilarating, exhausting and sometimes fatal, world of the 'super men' . . .
