This book, written by former senior RAAF officer Mark Lax and released after the F-111 was finally withdrawn from service, fills a vacant gap of RAAF aircraft types in print quite nicely. It’s a well written and easily readable account of the F-111 from the political decisions taken to replace the BAC Canberra and carrying on through its service life, practically dragging the RAAF into a more sophisticated service responsible for more than dropping iron bombs!
