Eyes in the Sky The History of aerial fire detection in Western Australia by Roger Underwood

A tell all book about the history of aerial fire detection in Western Australia. Eyes in the Sky outlines the background to bushfire detection in WA forests, describes the early approach based on lookout towers, the first trials with aircraft and the evolution of a new and unique fire detection system. The book pays tribute to the people responsible for this remarkable innovation: the pioneering Western Australian foresters, pilots, and bushfire and aviation specialists who designed, tested and developed a bushfire detection system based on spotter aircraft!
