Pilot Fred Bright survived flying 1,015 hours during World War II. He returned safely to Australia in 1945, unaware that his war time experiences would have a profound effect on those closest to him for the rest of his life.
His 462 Squadron Midde East aircrew exemplified the fierce loyalty shown in perilous situations. Their Skipper Fred 'Shiny' Bright succeeded in maintaining calm with his sardonic humour.
Fred Bright flew from 1941 to 1945 in aircraft which included Gypsy Moths, Fleets, Wellingtons, Halifaxes, Fairchilds, Ansons, Douglases, Liberators, Defiants and Dakotas, He trained in Australia, Canada and Britain.
War time Operational Missions were flown over the Mediterranean from North Africa.
This is a riveting, easy to read book, which is hard to put down.
