Produktbeschreibung
They are the forever family, born with matching wire in blood, barbed DNA wire. An Australian rural family leaves their farm kingdom to locate a WW2 aircraft in the Riverland to tow back for spare parts. Departure date is Apollo 11; launch day 1969. The war-bird characterises their family relationship. Father is the unyielding supreme commander, an Odysseus, adversarial and warrior-like. This close quarter-quest corrodes family bonds through a stressful expedition involving hazardous river crosses, python wranglers and perilous weather. An aging war-bird with dubious mechanics is the spur to break rust from a toxic relationship. It is a race to help save Father and the Oxford, a race to return to witness the Apollo 11 moon landing. Two pursuits divided by space but united in time. Losing Apollo the - very last thought.
