Over the course of his 42 year air force career, he served in three wars: flying fighters on operations in the South West Pacific and Korea, and helicopters and transports in South Vietnam where he also held overall command of the RAAF units committed to that conflict. Although dubbed the "Quiet Man" for his unostentatious and unassuming style, he finally breaks his silence and writes about many of the events, projects and issues that were the… Read More
