About This Item
London, United Kingdom: Grub Street, 2006. New book, 221 pages. Within these pages, Adrian Hellwig shows that contrary to earlier research studies, Major Roderic Dallas is Australia's leading air ace of all time, with at least 48 victories to his name. This also makes him one of the highest scoring Commonwealth aces. Nevertheless, until this excellently researched volume, there as never been a full biography of this exceptional pilot, whose fighting career spanned from 1916 to 1918. Flying Nieuport Scouts, Triplanes and Camels with the RNAS and RAF, he was an ever-present threat over the Western Front and the scourge of the German Air Force. Hellwig's book has been taken procipally from primary sources (Dallas' own letters, logbooks and service record, in addition to squadron record books, combat reports and contemporary acounts), and his resulting conclusions will surprise many. Here is a fitting tribute to not just Australia's greatest war hero of the air, but to a man any country would be proud to call their own.. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
