This book can be downloaded as a PDF at the URL below:

I read it while in Darwin last year (when I got to see the remains of Wackett's Beaufighter) - Quite a good book!

Re: ¿Anyone knows Pacific Fighters PC game?
Hi there,
Welcome to the forum!
I used to play Pacific Fighters, and worked on quite a few aircraft textures some years back. I've been meaning to get back into it, but just haven't had the time.
Feel free to drop me a line if you want to chat about PF.
Cheers,
Daniel

Re: What Pacific based book are you reading at the moment?
Just joined the forum. First of all, welcome to the forum. Storm over Kokoda by Peter Ewer - another good book covering the aerial campaign in New Guinea, drawn mostly from the anecdotes of Australian and Japanese aircrew. Covers a smaller timeframe and area. I've had this book for a while, but hav...

Re: 43 Squadron RAAF Info
Hi there, Sounds very interesting... Almost certain TROVE would have nothing. Theses documents - if they still exist - would probably either be held by NAA or AWM, though only a basic reference may appear online.
