Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Jacket: N/A (paperback). Page Condition: Good. Markings: sticker FEP. Binding: Appears intact.
This compelling biography chronicles the extraordinary life of Pilot Officer Rawdon Hume Middleton VC, a decorated hero of the Royal Australian Air Force during the Second World War. Middleton was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross — one of the highest military honours — for his extraordinary act of self-sacrifice during a bombing raid on Turin in November 1942, when he piloted his badly damaged Stirling bomber back across the Alps and the Channel to save his crew at the cost of his own life. Written by Stuart Bill and drawn from the memories of those who knew him best, the book presents an intimate and deeply personal portrait of the man behind the medal. Told through the voices of friends and colleagues, it is a tribute as human as it is heroic — a moving testament to courage, duty, and the quiet character of an exceptional Australian airman.
