A Skipper’s Tale
Written and Signed By Doug Arrowsmith DFC OAM Ld'H RAAF
“Doug has written this memoir during the last two years. For someone in his 100th year, I would say his memory is exceptional, and his writing style has produced an autobiography that is very readable and will play an important role in ensuring his story endures for future generations to come. He is truly a remarkable Australian.” - Quote from foreword by Richard Munro, 460 Squadron Historian, and Coordinator of the Veterans, Families and Friends of 460 Squadron RAAF, both nationally and internationally
“Doug’s memoir recounts a century filled with a very positive life. It tells of his heroic wartime experiences as a pilot in the Bomber Command, which played a significant role in the outcome of the war. He then outlines his transition to a happy, successful and fulfilling civilian, family and sporting life. His story reflects the role of an important generation, which contributed to advance Australia.” - Jeff Carr Son-in-Law
