Wixted, is a gripping true-life adventure story about one of the heroes of the early days of aviation. A leading pilot of the British Empire the days when long-distance aviators were first linking the countries of the world, Squadron Leader Herbert J. L. Hinkler disappeared in 1933 while on a solo flight from England to Australia. His body and the wreckage were later discovered in the Tuscan mountains of Italy. The reason for the crash, over, however, has remained a mystery -- until today.
