Nothing’s Impossible! The Alan Rea Story is the gripping, real-life chronicle of an Australian farm boy who became one of the country’s most respected aviators and flight instructors. Written by Dan Ednie Lockett, this 2009 paperback biography follows Alan Rea from barefoot childhood in rural Victoria to the cockpit of everything from crop-dusters to military transports, proving that vision, grit and sheer love of flying can overcome any obstacle. Readers ride along on barnstorming adventures, white-knuckle emergencies and the quiet triumphs of teaching generations of pilots to trust the sky.

What makes this copy special is its immaculate, like-new condition: crisp, unmarked pages, no dog-eared corners, a rock-solid spine and zero smoke or storage odours—perfect for gifting or adding to a serious aviation collection. The ISBN-9780646508337 edition is already scarce in the secondary market, especially in such clean, collector-grade shape, so enthusiasts looking for an inspirational memoir that doubles as a piece of Australian flying history will want to act quickly.

Young adults exploring career paths, entrepreneurs seeking a dose of “can-do” attitude and military or airline professionals after an authentic, behind-the-stick perspective will all find actionable lessons between these pages. Rea’s life demonstrates how resourcefulness, mentorship and relentless practice turn seemingly impossible dreams into logbooks filled with thousands of flight hours and a legacy that still shapes pilot training today.
