The long-anticipated book by Peter Greenfield and David Prest is here, and it is time to order a copy if you wish to secure one.
The book is hardback with a dust cover, and measures 250x176mm. It is 216 pages in length, in good quality print.
With first-hand stories from pilots and maintainers, the challenges of operations from one of the world’s smallest aircraft carriers are well explained. Also told are thrilling stories of air combat manoeuvres against fighters from other countries, with the A-4 often surprising more well-credentialled adversaries.
A string of mishaps ended the embarkation of Skyhawks on the Melbourne in 1980, followed by a period of turmoil which eventually saw the scrapping of RAN fixed wing aviation four years later. However, among the former pilots and maintainers many fond memories of A-4 operations remain alive, and are captured in the pages of this book.
