1 y separately published work icon Missing, Believed Killed : Tales from the Diary of an Air-gunner, 1943-44 Donald H. Roberts , Mandurah : Equilibrium Books , 2010 Z1791412 2010 selected work short story war literature

'From the author of Brylcream Easy comes another collection of stories and experiences from the author's time with 460 Lancaster Bomber Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force, written by one who was there, a member of Johnny's Flying Circus.

'We meet Darky, who survives the war only to die a derelict. Then there is the swashbuckling yank, Freddy and his muckin' fotor cycle; Lofty with his bottles of plonk, and Harry, a mongrel dog and friend of all who knew him.

'Based on actual events, these moving tales bring to life the humour, fear, tragedy and futile wastage of war, and the remarkable young men, some little more than schoolboys, who individually contributed in no small way to the annals of Australian history.'
