Join us to celebrate the launch of Dave Jacka’s On a Wing and a Chair.

Dave Jacka became the first person with quadriplegia to fly solo around Australia, covering a distance of almost 18,000 kilometres, the equivalent of flying from Melbourne to London. His book, On a Wing and a Chair brings the reader into this thrilling adventure. We experience the highs and lows of six years of preparation; then the trials and rewards of an epic 38-day flight in Dave’s custom-adapted aircraft. Turbulent weather, mechanical problems, sickness and fatigue were just some of the obstacles the team faced as they circumnavigated Australia, hugging the country’s majestic coastline. At every stop along the way, the team received overwhelming support from local people who were deeply inspired by the flight’s mission and Dave’s courage.
