This is a rare copy of the official history of No. 30 Squadron and Servicing Unit, by one of their longest serving members, Wally Ingham. It covers the early days of the squadron's formation, formed from what had been No. 8 (GR) Squadron, defending the east coast of the North Island with Vickers Vincents and Vildebeestes. The story takes us through the squadron's conversion onto the modern and new Grumman Avengers, and their training on these to become proficient in dive bombing and other aerial warfare techniques. The social side of the squadron's relationship with the city of Gisborne, where they were based, is also covered. And we follow the men as they move into the Pacific combat zone where they proved themselves valiantly and set a fine war record for the RNZAF. This book is a superb read and a fine record of both the squadron the servicing unit it spawned. It serves as an excellent tribute to the men of 30 Squadron and Servicing Unit.
