The Story

This volume collects Second World War anecdotes from RAAF Catalina airmen and their relatives. Includes a 1940-1948 Roll of Honour, bibliography and glossary.
Details: Non-fiction, published 2000.
Format: Soft cover, illustrations (photographs), 279 pages.
Dimensions: 29.0 cm (h) x 21.0 cm (w) / 840 grams.
