No More Beyond is published at £25 (Hardback) by Edinburgh publishers Birlinn Books, celebrated as the publisher of Alexander McCall Smith's hugely successful No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books.
A pioneer of photo-journalism during World War I, described by one general as ‘the bravest man I have ever seen’, Wilkins is the only Australian war photographer to be twice decorated in battle. He achieved fame in the 1920s by becoming the first man to fly extensively over the Antarctic wilderness. No one in the great age of Polar exploration discovered and charted more previously unknown areas of sea and landmass.

He travelled round the world in the Graf Zeppelin, survived crashes, disasters, firing-squads, sabotage and capture by Arab slavers, and happily lived long enough to be honoured by kings, presidents and dictators.
