About This Item

Ashmore City, Qld: The Author, 2005. 255 x 160 mm, 304 pp, b&w illustrations, maps, end-paper maps. Blue cloth boards in dust-wrapper. Bumped at bottom of spine, some foxing to top edge. Lionel Veale describes his sixth and final mission as a Coastwatcher in World War Two with details of other missions conducted by the Australian Intelligence Bureau in Queensland and in Port Moresby, New Guinea. This book is more than just a personal account as the author enlisted the help of other Coastwatchers to describe missions other than his own, to New Britain, Hollandia and adjacent islands as well as on New Guinea. Coastwatchers reported on Japanese shipping, aircraft and troops, not only as a precursor to allied landings and operations, but also as an early warning system for Japanese bombing raids on Port Moresby and other targets in the New Guinea region.. First edition.. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good.
