Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has inscribed inside page. Interior and binding are still very good. Signed by author.
Athol Thomas began training as a wireless air gunner in the RAAF during WWII. On graduation, he wanted to join a Catalina squadron but instead became a radar operator in New Guinea.
He has never forgotten his love of the flying boat, a significant element in Australia's defence against the Japanese. He has written a lively adventure story based on a restored Catalina. The Catalina once again proves its versatility in WA's Kimberley, battling against terrorists, smugglers and general mayhem.
Athol Thomas passed away in 2012.
