Defending Britain: Australia's Few and the Battle of Britain

I am thrilled to announce that  Newsouth Publishing, a division of the University of New South Wales Press, will publish my book on eight Australian fighter pilots in the Battle of Britain. The manuscript, dubbed by me as Australia's Few currently has a provisional title of Defending Britain: Australia's Few and the Battle of Britain.
 
It won't be long before the full stories of Australian Battle of Britain pilots John Connolly (Jack) Kennedy, Stuart Crosby Walch, Richard Lindsay (Dick) Glyde, Paterson Clarence (Pat) Hughes, Kenneth Christopher (Ken) Holland, John Dallas Crossman, William Henry (Bill) Millington Jr and Desmond Frederick Burt (Des) Sheen will be told.
 
I have to deliver the manuscript by the end of February 2014 and am currently finishing off the last chapter before I do a big edit/revision. If anyone has any information about these pilots they wish to share, please contact me as soon as possible.
