Proudly displaying Robert Taylor’s painting on the cover is this long awaited autobiography

This outstanding new first edition hardback book is the story of Tom Dalton-Morgan; a man determined to fly and who achieved his ambition by being accepted for pilot training by the RAF in 1934. He flew in the Battle of Britain and was one of the few fighter pilots to shoot down Luftwaffe bombers at night in a single engine day fighter. He subsequently flew many operations over occupied Europe and was awarded nine British and foreign decorations. He retired from the RAF in 1952, moving to Australia to join the Weapons Research Establishment in Adelaide, eventually becoming the Range Controller at the Missile Testing Ground, Woomera. He reluctantly retired in 1982 after reaching 65 years of age. With his usual zest for life, he bought a sheep farm which he ran with his son for a number of years before eventually retiring. His retirement was spent with his wife, alternating between Australia and England where they continued to attend many reunions of “Old Boys”. He sadly passed away on 18 September 2004, leaving behind the manuscript for this fascinating autobiography. At his expressed request it has now been published in conjunction with Robert Taylor’s emotive painting ont eh cover. (This book is also available as a limited edition with matching numbered Robert Taylor print)
