February 22, 1928 in the sky: Bert Hinkler joins Australia

History of aviation – February 22, 1928. On February 22, 1928, Australia saw Bert Hinkler's aircraft arrive on its land, the Australian pilot signing the very first air raid between England and Australia. The latter had thus covered a course of some 17,700 kilometres. A magnificent performance of which the press will not fail to echo.
