This is the warts and all history the Qantas PR department does not want you to read but you can bet they'll be reading it, too!. It takes you back to the foundation of the airline to disprove the line that Qantas never crashes.

As an MBA student I was keen to read a story about a series of airline presidents, directors and managers who were to blamewho knows, maybe I'd learn from someone else's mistakes.
