About This Item
London.: Airlife.. 1997.. Map, black and white illustrations, 298pp, appendices, index, dustjacket. "This is the compelling and at times harrowing account of the author's experiences whilst serving in the RAF during the Second World War. In 1942 he was dispatched as King's Messenger to Java with classifed documents. There, his comrades faced impossible odds against the Japanese, eventually launching a last desperate sortie. Finally, they were forced to submit to the mortifying ritual of laying down their arms. The death-rate was high, and even time would never heal the wounds to their bodies and minds." Taken from blurb. .
