John Flynn was born in Australia in 1880. His father was a schoolteacher. John studied hard
and in 1911 he left the city of Melbourne and went to work in South Australia for the Presbyterian
Church. The church wanted to help the sheep farmers who lived in the outback-the countryside area
many kilometers from towns and cities. They built a number of small hospitals and found nurses to
work in them. But at that time there were only two doctors in all of South Australia.
One story Flynn often told was of Jimmy Darcy. One day Jimmy had an accident on his farm,
so friends took him to see F.W. Tuckett, who worked at the post office at Halls Creek. It was a
journey of 22 kilometers. Tuckett was the only person in the area who knew anything about
medicine. He tried to help but Jimmy was too ill. Tuckett finally talked by radio to a doctor in Perth,
a city 1,500 kilometers away. The doctor took ten days to arrive. He travelled by car, by horse and on
foot and when he arrived, he found that Jimmy was already dead.
Flynn saw that planes could really help people in the outback. He wrote about his idea for a
"Flying doctor" in 1917 but it wasn't until 1928 that one actually took off. By the 1930s there was a
Flying Doctor plane in every part of Australia.
