Angels Twenty: A Young American Flier a Long Way from Home (1994) By Ted Park
US Army pilot Ted Park steps ashore in wartime Australia, a greenhorn enthusiastic about striking a blow for the American way. Townsville's troop-lined harbour, combat training in remote Queensland, leave in Sydney and romance in Melbourne - glimpses of 1940s Australia - snap back to life. Excitement kicks in high above the treacherous Owen Stanley Ranges of New Guinea as Park flies his dodgy, yet beloved, war-issue Airacobra against the sleek and deadly Japanese Zeros. Park writes with an infectious enthusiasm for readers who have never waggled their ailerons, feathered their props, or jettisoned their belly tanks - and also for those who have.
