It is a very vivid piece of history.

N Gillespie well describes the skill of New Zealand factories in the making of all manner of sports goods, including model aeroplanes. Ronald Marsh shows how the Royal New Zealand Air Force with aerial photography, is helping the Lands and Survey Department to speed ui the mapping of difficult country. N. Maine recalls the first visit of the Rev. Samuel Marsden to New Zealand in 1814.
