Edward Bagot's memoir offers a unique personal perspective on World War II, combining his experiences as a Pathfinder pilot with his aristocratic heritage and deep religious convictions.
Edward joined the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during the latter part of the Second World War. He became a member of Bomber Command and a Pathfinder pilot. Intensely religious, Edward, who believed he had a premonition of his death, flew without fear, his faith sustaining him throughout his wartime experiences. His story is meticulously drawn from his diary, which he began at the age of fifteen, and the letters he sent to his family from England.
