Australia’s skies are vast. Remote. Unregulated in their corners. For organised crime, that emptiness can be a highway. And for more than a decade, one pilot has hovered in the shadows of it all… a man who changed his name, his story, and his allegiance. This is the tale of Bernhard Stevermuer — later known as Bernard Hamilton Alexander — a small-plane pilot who became the ghost at the centre of Australia’s black-flight drug trade.
