G'day,
I thought a recruit from the land 'down under' might not go astray and that I should introduce myself. I have an interest in WWII, particularly in aviation, that goes back as far as I can remember. My father and mother both served with the Royal Australian Air Force and Dad saw action in WWII and Korea.
Also, I have a deep interest in the stories of aircrew from WWII and have been honoured to interview a number of them over the years. My main goal is to record their stories for their families, whilst some find their way to print. Most notably I came to know SQNLDR K.B. McGlashan AFC who quite literally flew from Dunkirk to D-Day. His remarkable story ultimately became my first book, "Down to Earth".
I look forward participating in your forum.
Cheers
Owen
