Courage in the Skies

Readers are presented with the little known but shocking story of Qantas’ significant role in World War Two, and the part they played against the Japanese. Between the years of 1942 and 1943, Qantas lost eight air crafts and as a result over sixty passengers and crew members. But their losses have not gone unremembered, and their sacrifices are honoured in this inspiring collection. Personal experiences and historical reports are collected to bring readers an engaging tale of one of history’s most shocking moments.
