Peter Johnson's 46 year career in journalism and public affairs has taken him from Brisbane and its trams to the Concorde supersonic jetliner and on to the Australian Defence Force.When he started a journalism cadetship on the Brisbane Courier-Mail in 1965 he had no idea that the profession of words would take him around Australia and around the world.Newspaper work in Brisbane, London, and Melbourne provided a stepping stone to a job as civilian Public Relations Officer for the Royal Australian Air Force in Melbourne and ultimately Regional Manager, Defence Public Affairs for Victoria and Tasmania.A recurring thread through his career has been aviation, both as an aviation writer and Public Relations Officer with the Air Force.In this book he answers some of the questions about "what's it like to...'" ride the trams, fly aboard Concorde, meet remarkable personalities, represent the Defence Force, and more.

Peter Johnson

Peter Johnson is a historian specialising in North Wales's railways, particularly its many narrow gauge lines. Writing nearly 40 books since 1984, he brings together threads from many original sources to produce informed and readable accounts of their histories and development.

A retired local government officer, he was editor of the Ffestiniog Railway Society's quarterly magazine from 1974 until 2003 and a director of the society for 11 years. In 2003 he was appointed the Festiniog Railway Company's official photographer.

From 1991-2019 he also contributed a narrow-gauge railway news column to one of the national railway magazines. This is his fourth book for Pen & Sword Transport, following two on the Festiniog Railway and one on the Welsh Highland Railway.
