Said to be the true story of Australia's greatest peace time hero, it is one of the most stirring sagas of daring and danger ever lived by one man and the woman he loved.
 A huge cast was assembled, in- cluding some of the original per- sonalities who crossed the path of Kingsford Smith, or Smithy, as the intrepid airman was known to the world.
 Smithy's story is the stirring saga of one mans ambition to achieve a goal, no matter what the obstacles Smithy wanted to be the first man to fly the Pacific. Handicapped by a lack of funds, he aroused the support of his own government by starting on the first of a number ot ecord-breaking flights which brought him fame and fortune. In the famed Southern Cross" he leaped the Pacific. crossing from America to Australia. Spectacular flight after flight followed, his fame spreading even wider.
 Mss Steinbeck, who enacts the part of Mary Powell Qater Lady Kingsford Smith), had a brilliant career on the stage and screen.
