Flying Doctor
Clyde Cornwall Fenton practised medicine in the Northern Territory for six years before the outbreak of the WWII.

Outback Airline
Connellan Airways has a special place in the aviation history of Australia. There have been few regular passenger airlines in Australia, there is none to compare with Connellan Airways and its immense contribution to the history of the Northern Territory and Outback Australia. This book is a brief account of that remarkable airline.
Failure of Triumph
Failure of Triumph is a story with several main themes. As the subtitle suggests it is EJ Connellan's story of the airline that he founded and it provides a unique perspective on 50 years of Australian aviation. But it is far more than that. It also provides an insight into 50 years of the Northern Territoty history. As the principal of the Territory's airline, a Central Australian pastoralist and businessman, EJ Connellan was associated with many of the key people and developments in the Territory's later history.
