The story of the rise and rise of Butler Air Transport, until it was taken over by Ansett Transport Industries, is an amazing one.

Not only was C. Arthur Butler one of Australia’s leading aviators…but a leading Australian entrepreneur as well!
This DVD takes you back to the days when the Douglas DC-3 was King of the skies…. when flying was an adventure.

When you purchased a ticket, not a boarding pass! ……when tickets were actually filled in manually….when the aircraft Captain passed around an information sheet detailing arrival times and the weather! When the short lived, three tail Elizabethan was Queen of the skies.

Butler Air Transport gradually became the largest intrastate operator in New South Wales through sheer guts and determination…despite the spectre of Ansett and ANA snapping at Butler’s heels.

Witness the introduction of the world’s first prop jet…the Vickers Viscount and ultimately, the aggressive takeover of Butler’s airline by Ansett Transport Industries.

Butler Air Transport has almost vanished from the history books….and not too many can remember this great company, but now you can re-live the history and the colour of this outstanding country airline, by way of this DVD.

A must have for lovers of aviation and transport history!
