During the six years of World War II, thousands of Australian airmen-most of them barely on the threshold of adulthood-went dicing with death as almost a daily duty. Arthur Sandell was one such member of this distinguished company. He convinced pacifist, until the enormity of Hiltler's threat to civilised values bought a change in his thinking. Here, he gives an account of his enlistment, training and subsequent flying in the Royal Australian Air Force from the beginning of 1941 to early 1946.
