Beschreibung

Light blue cloth covers with black print at front.This short history is an attempt to preserve, before records are lost or destroyed, and before memory fades, the story of one of the most colourful, and certainly one of the least publicised, Squadrons of the Royal Australian Air Force. 455 (R.A.A.F.) Squadron has a proud record -- the first Australia Squadron to bomb Germany -- the first Australian torpedo Squadron -- the only Australian unit to operate from a Russian base, and, as the first rocket-firing Squadron, the guardian of the northern sea approach to the operations which commenced on D-Day and continued until the successful conclusion of the European War. The Squadron at most times was equipped with either obsolescent or obsolete aircraft -- a fact which made its achievements all the more meritorious. **The book has foxing, the cover is badly faded at the spine, there is a small crack at the top front - Internally, still a good read.**.
