These Eagles - The Story Of The R.A.A.F At War: R.A.A.F Directorate of Public Relations

With stories, sketches and photographs from the servicemen and women of the Royal Australian Air Force. No 'Boys Own' adventures here - these are real tales of man's condition, actions and reactions in wartime. From Out Of Control: To watch Mother Earth rushing up to meet you while you are fighting a spine at a mere few thousand feet does not increase your expectation of a long and useful life... There's the ground crew blokes, the high-altitude men, the U-boat spotters, the Old New Contemptibles; the ladies of the W.A.A.A.F get a salute from the boys. There's even cartoons - such as one would expect from an Aussie view of things. Illustrated with sketches, black and white photographs and colour plates.
