Air Hawk and the Flying Doctors
- Air Hawk and the Flying Doctors
Air Hawk and the Flying Doctors is an Australian comic strip created by John Dixon. The stip began its publication on 14 June 1959, premiering in the Sunday issue of the Sydney's Sun Herald. Eventually the publication spread to the other major Australian Newspapers. In 1963, 'Air Hawk' also became a daily strip. By 1967 the strip was appearing not only in every Australian state, but also in Britain, New Zealand and South Africa. Dixon continued the strip until 1986. Dixon was assisted over the years by Mike Tabrett, Hart Amos and Keith Chatto.
The strip is set in the Australian outback, and follows the adventures of Jim Hawk, a former Royal Australian Air Force pilot Flying and intelligent agent, who operates the Air Hawk Charter service from Alice Springs. Routine charter operations are continuously disrupted by his involvement in conflict with local and international villains.
