2020 marks 100 years of civil aviation in Australia, in a year where the industry has been brought to its knees.

Entertainer Justine Clarke hosts a new SBS documentary called ‘Australia Come Fly With Me’ which takes a look at Australians in the air over the years, and the important role the industry has played.

She told Deborah Knight she has always had a fascination with air travel, particularly commercial travel.

Ms Clarke said pilots returned from World War 1 and had a “restlessness and recklessness” to see the world and discover.

“I found that fascinating: that’s what put us on the map, internationally, was our bravery.”

Australia Come Fly With Me airs over three weeks from Wednesday 14 October at 8.30pm on SBS.
