AUSTRALIAN MILITARYY ""An extraordinary story of daring and luck, life and death, and fortunes found and lost"" This extraordinary true tale follows the disappearance of more than 20 million dollars worth of precious diamonds during World War II. In 1942, as the Japanese army advanced on Java, two wealthy businessmen entrusted a Russian aviator, Captain Ivan Smirnoff, with a small, mysteriously-unmarked package, to be delivered to a businessman in Sydney. The plane was attacked during a Japanese air raid and under heavy fire, but Smirnoff miraculously landed the badly damaged plane on an isolated beach on Western Australian far northwest coast. A few weeks later, Jack Palmer stumbled across the lost package containing precious diamonds among the plane's wreckage. Nicknamed Diamond Jack,"" Palmer and two others were charged with theft of the diamonds. This true adventure follows the diamonds as they are lost... #310822R/261122Palmer, Jack. | Larceny -- Western Australia -- Carnot Bay. | Diamonds -- Western Australia -- Carnot Bay. | World War, 1939-1945 -- Western Australia -- Broome -- Aerial operations, Japanese.

[EAN: 9781846034282], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [SC: 2.42], [PU: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom], ALEX REVELL NO 56 SQN RAF RFC NO. 33 AVIATION ELITE UNITS, By the autumn of 1916, with the formation of the new Jagdstaffeln, the pendulum of aerial supremacy had once again swung in favour of the German Air Force. The battle of the Somme in 1916 saw the RFC suffer losses of nearly 400 aircrew between September and November, and British casualties were to reach a zenith in the 'Bloody April' of 1917 when 319 aircrew were lost, killed or taken prisoner of war. This was the situation when No 56 Squadron arrived in France at the end of April 1917. Equipped with the superb new SE 5, it was the first fighter squadron of the RFC to be able to meet the Albatros and Halberstadt fighters of the Jagdstaffeln on equal terms. The squadron's pilots won an incredible tally of decorations, and by the end of the hostilities many famous fighter pilots had passed through its ranks - Albert Ball VC, Canadian Hank Burden and American Robert Caldwell to name but a few. In this study, Alex Revell uncovers the early days and development of No 56 Squadron, its victories and losses, and the birth of a proud tradition. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged., Books<
