Comments: This book is based around the lives of seventeen servicemen and their experiences and reflections of their war service. The format is organised in chronological sequence and includes over 200 photographs as well as excerpts from the unit history records. Many tables and graphs are integrated into the body of the text. The book contains many primary and secondary sources of material. This is an invaluable contribution to the history of 2 Squadrons participation in the Vietnam War.

This is a fascinating perspective of a little known aspect of Australia’s contribution to the Vietnam conflict. Featuring flight records, personal recollections and in-depth analysis, this text strikes the right balance between hard facts and hindsight. Written by a RAAF veteran, it is a must for other vets but does not exclude onlookers. A great read and a must for anyone interested in the exploits of this highly decorated Australian squadron.
