Pioneers of Burnie : sesquicentenary publication… por Richard Pike
Tasmania - History; Pioneers; Burnie
While not of great literary merit, this book does provide insight into the lives of those pilots flying this iconic cold-war interceptor. Each chapter is a condensed history of one pilots experiences on the Lightning aircraft, usually focused on one or two anecdotes. Many of the stories are linked through people, common issues or squadrons. Most enjoyable insight into a different time and set of technologies.
