Fly: True Stories of Courage and Adventure from the Airmen of World II by Michael Veitch

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

All over the world during World War II, thousands of young men who never had so much as been near an aeroplane left offices, farms and classrooms to learn to fly and fight in the greatest conflict the world has ever seen. They fought over deserts, cities and jungles in single-engine fighter aircraft, heavy bombers, transport planes and flying boats.

How do they feel about their dramatic days in the air? What is it they remember, and what do they choose to forget?

In these candid and moving stories, Michael Veitch, writer, broadcaster and aeroplane fanatic, uncovers some of the untold stories of World War II: Australian, British and even German. He captures the events that defined a generation of men before these stories are lost forever. (back cover)
