About the Authors

Joy Allardyce (Shipway) became an international author at the age of 89. In 2019, she became a first-time published book author of "Come Fly With Me ... on a DC-3." Born on Armistice Day, 11th November 1930, she was named "Joy" to commemorate the end of World War I. Growing up in Maroubra, Sydney, she was a keen reader early in her childhood. She danced classical ballet, tap, Russian and Dutch for nine years. She loved swimming at Coogee Beach Rockpool. In 1945, at the young age of fifteen, Joy successfully completed the Intermediate Certificate. Joy's love of writing ignited her passion to be a news reporter, so her father approached a couple of Sydney newspaper editors who were totally against the idea because war correspondents were returning from the Second World War and needed jobs. In 1951, Joy won Queen of the Manly Mardi Gras. The prize was a flight to Hayman Island by a QANTAS flying boat, and her return flight was on a DC-3. Her fascination with this aircraft began. In 1952 Joy was accepted as an air hostess with the government owned Trans-Australia Airlines (TAA). Joy eventually became a dedicated Air Hostess crewing the intrepid TAA DC-3 aircraft in Queensland and other states during the early 1950s. She regularly meets with other ex-hosties, enjoying each other's company, sharing stories and laughs while remembering the good old flying days. There is a unique connection that exists between ex-hosties who never balk at helping and supporting each other. After her graduation, Joy was posted to Brisbane port at Eagle Farm and spent the following three years crewing mainly DC-3s, Skymaster DC-4s and Convairs across every state of Australia, including Tasmania. After studying Professional Journalism through the Adelaide Technical College, Joy wrote and published short stories, poems, and non-fictional narratives and, in the 1970s, worked for the Hedland Times, a subsidiary of The West Australian Newspaper, while residing in Mount Newman, Western Australia. At the age of 89, Joy published her first book, "Come Fly With Me ... on a DC-3." At the age of 92, Joy published her second book titled "Old Man of the North". She has written and published several short stories in regional newspapers across Australia, as well as a non-fiction and fiction book.
