The Chronicle of August 30 1919 reported 'Captain Harry J. Butler provided the most entertaining display of aviation at Unley on August 23 that has ever been witnessed in this State.

Captain Butler's reputation as an airman was fairly well established in this State when he recently flew over the gulf to Minlaton and back, but few people knew he was capable of such hair-raising stunts as those he provided at Unley...'
