Over this time thousands of men – few of whom had flown before – pushed themselves and their aircraft to the limits in a hazardous and entirely new type of warfare. Now for the first time Australians tell this story as they experienced it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this, the second of two volumes, former wireless operator\/air gunner Ross Pearson has assembled a remarkable collection of first-hand accounts of wartime aviation over sea, desert and jungle. Starting with the role of Coastal Command in the Battle of the Atlantic, later chapters cover the Middle East, the Pacific and South East Asia where the air war was taken to Australia’s doorstep. Also included is a comprehensive account of the role and experiences of ground staff and the Tactical Air Force following the invasion of Normandy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection is both a richly detailed historical document and an immediate and personal story of “ordinary blokes” caught up in truly extraordinary circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis copy is in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Very Good \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003econdition with some marks on the page edges.
