Description
"This very human and enthralling story describes the war experiences of some RAAF personnel stationed at Penfoei airstrip on the island of Timor in 1941-42 as part of a forward line of Australian defence. They became known as the "Penfoei Pedestrians". It was the time of the victorious Japanese sweep through South East Asia.
This is not a story of defeaut but of triumph of the human spirit and of courage and resourcefulness in the face of what might have seemed insurmountable odds.
The Japanese were not the only enemy."
(From the Foreword by Sir Robert Law-Smith)
The ultimate daring rescue of the survivors by our American Allies brings to a climax a narrative in which the reader is carried along by suspense and excitement.
