Note | Includes bibliographical references. "From his perspective, Bill Gray is not a hero. He always wanted to be a pilot and achieved this ambition with the RAAF, as a Lancaster Bomber Command pilot, attached to an RAF Squadron. He was trained well. He flew a magnificent aircraft with a crew whomutually respected their roles and each other. He did what he was trained to do. He did it well. His story is unique and well worth telling."--Back cover. |
