Fly (2008) By Michael Veitch
'Fly is an absorbing read thanks to the amazing and previously untold stories Veitch collected from aging pilots, navigators, and gunners.' HERALD SUN
All over the world during World War II, thousands of young men who had never so much as been near an airplane 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 airplane 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.
