The speaker is Allan Emett, who trained as a fighter pilot during WWII with the Royal New Zealand Air Force. He flew two operational tours in the Pacific forward area, the first with No. 19 (Fighter) Squadron and the second with No. 26 (Fighter) Squadron.<br><br>Allan had several photos and logbook pages projected on a big screen for this talk and he was assisted in remembering certain parts of the story by his son Brent.<br><br>Due to the nature of the live venue and the sound system the recording is not exactly crystal clear, so headphones would be recommended when&nbsp; listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quick Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022&nbsp; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"
