Description

Australian aircrew in Europe during WWII have often been overlooked in historical accounts. Flyers Far Away sheds light on this significant chapter in history, drawing on extensive field research and over 200 interviews with survivors. The book tells the story of how many Australian airmen ended up fighting an Allied cause in Western Europe, one of the bloodiest campaigns of the Second World War. Using first-hand accounts from surviving airmen, it explores their journey from recruitment in Australia to operations over enemy territory. For the first time, all Australian aircrew - including those in Fighter, Bomber, Coastal and Tactical Air Force Commands - are brought together in one volume, providing a comprehensive account of their experiences during this pivotal period.
