"The
Second World War saw tens of thousands of Australians take to the air as
members of the Royal Australian Air Force. Most of them served in Australian
units, while the remainder served as “odd bods” in British, Canadian, or New
Zealand squadrons. Among these were two Australian Victoria Cross recipients.
This presentation will highlight the stories of some of these men who flew a
diverse range of aircraft around the world in non-Australian units."
