Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.
Pioneer wartime aviator, prisoner of war, escapee, businessman, politician and diplomat Thomas Walter White (1888-1957) lived a full and extraordinary life.
One of the most incredible adventures of WWI saw an Australian airman, Captain Thomas Walter White, captured by the Turks only to escape to Russia as a stowaway on a Bolshevik smuggler's ship, where he arrived in the maelstrom of the Russian Revolution.
The authors wonderfully capture the adventure of White's flight and have written a fascinating account of one of Australia's forgotten war heroes. (publisher blurb)
