The book covers No. 489 (NZ) Squadron from its inception on the 12th of August 1941 at the Royal Air Force Coastal Command\u2019s station at Leuchars airfield in Scotland, right through to its disbandment at Banff on the 15th of August 1945.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don has compiled the book using hours of interviews and delved deeply into personal accounts, albums and anecdotes to reveal the true character of No. 489 (NZ) Squadron.&nbsp; Containing over 1,000 photos, the book is packed full of incredible detail that chronicles the squadron\u2019s short but vibrant history. In this talk Don details how the book came about and tells some of the stories that he came across in the research for the 490-page book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quick Links:<\/strong><br>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artistdonwilkie.co.nz\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.artistdonwilkie.co.nz\">Don Wilkie&#8217;s Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Beaus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Beaus-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Beaus-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Beaus-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Beaus-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Beaus-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Beaus-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Beaus.jpg 1105w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ANZAC Attack &#8211; Don Wilkie&#8217;s artwork that adorns the cover of his book. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_4617-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"811\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_4617-811x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_4617-811x1024.jpg 811w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_4617-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_4617-768x970.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_4617-1216x1536.jpg 1216w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_4617-1622x2048.jpg 1622w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_4617-119x150.jpg 119w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_4617-400x505.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cambridgeairforce.org.nz\/WONZShow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_4617-scaled.jpg 2027w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Don Wilkie during his presentation.
