This is the Qantas story that every airline passenger needs to read: it is a full and frank history of Australia's national airline.
An Australian bestselling book, The Men Who Killed Qantas takes you into the boardroom, where parachutes are signed off, and onto the hangar floor, where engineers battle accounting cuts to keep planes flying safely. This book also goes back to the foundation of the airline to disprove the line that Qantas planes never crash.
This is a controversial, warts-and-all history that the Qantas Public Relations department does not want you to read.
Matthew Benns is the bestselling author of many gritty exposes, including Dirty Money: The True Cost Of Australia's Mineral Boom.
