Skite alert...Or, to paraphrase the RAF and RAAF, a watch out for a great big line shoot...!
The December edition of Sabretache, the Journal of the Military Historical Society of Australia has just come out and it includes my article 'Australian Knights of the Air and Their Little Touches of Chivalry', which won the 2012 Sabretache Writers' Prize. I finished writing the article in May last year and it is great to finally see it in print.

The article ranges across Australian air force history, highlighting instances of chivalry and arguing that chivalry rightly occured outside the fighting arena.
For Battle of Britain enthusiasts it includes reference to Dick Glyde, John Cock and Bill Millington. Clive Caldwell and Jack Davenport also put in an appearance, as do Frank McNamara, Harry Cobby, Rawdon Middleton, my dear friend Alan Righetti and Angus Houston.
