Description

The first leaves of this log have been removed from the book, possibly explaining the difference between the date on the cover and the recorded date of radio communications. Only twelve pages in this log have been used and they record the radio communications that took place for Charles Kingsford Smith's TransTasman crossing in the Southern Cross aircraft in January 1933 and Charles Ulm's TransTasman crossing made in December 1933. Radio log records the lead up to this flight.
