My Fellowship was undertaken between 16 April and 4 June 2017, with the aim of gauging the international significance of the 1919 Air Race from England to Australia, and the South Australian fliers who won it. I travelled to nine countries to talk with aviation historians, museum education program managers and local history groups, while also visiting libraries, museums and city archives to uncover original source material. Using 1919 references, maps and current day local knowledge, I also attempted to rediscover the Smith crew’s original landing sites in key cities and record the details and images for posterity.
