Air Hawk and the Flying Doctors

Dr Hal Mathews was a close friend of Jim Hawk who worked for the RFDS and Sister Janet Grant belonged to the Australian Inland Mission, whose medical clinic adjoined the air strip.

Hal Mathews had been seconded to work with the Unit and Janet Grant was now his full-time assistant, with the change in responsibilities, the 'Doctors' part of the title was reverted to the singular.

Routine charter operations were continuously disrupted by Jim Hawk's involvement in conflict with local and international villains.

In the 1980s Queensland comic enthusiast, Nat Karmichael, published John Dixon's Air Hawk Magazine.

Selected storylines were reprinted in the book, John Dixon, Air Hawk and the Flying Doctor Volume 1, published by Comicoz in 2011.
