This book is about Australian aircrew in Europe during World War II
and draws on extensive field research, including over two hundred
interviews with survivors. The fact that the Australians were
spread so widely across so many squadrons has contributed to
substantial oversights, both in the official histories and in the
literature on the field. Flyers Far Away redresses this imbalance
and accords those largely forgotten Australian airmen a rightful
place in the history of the European air war. Flyers Far Away
describes how so many Australian airmen ended up in Western Europe
fighting an Allied cause, in one of the bloodiest and most
unforgiving campaigns of the Second World War. Using first-hand
accounts from the surviving airmen, it traces their path from
recruitment in Australia to operations over the Third Reich and
Axis territories. For the first time, the exploits of all
Australian aircrew, in Fighter, Bomber, Coastal and Tactical Air
Force Commands are brought together in one volume.
