Hell's Airport and Lasseter's Lost Legacy by Australian aviation pioneer Errol Hampton Coote pairs two true adventures: flying the unforgiving Central Australian route nicknamed "Hell's Airport" and searching for Harold Bell Lasseter’s legendary reef of gold. This 1981 illustrated paperback blends aviation history with outback mystery, making it a sought-after slice of Aussie non-fiction.

The biography is personally inscribed—though not by the author—adding a touch of provenance collectors love. Maps and photographs bring Coote’s Melbourne-to-Alice exploits to life while keeping the narrative tight at 142 pages.

Condition is tidy and fully readable: binding square, pages intact, just light foxing on edges and endpapers plus a few neat marks on the final map. It ships smoke-free, ready for fans of aircraft, Australian local history, and true lost-treasure tales.
