Hann's Crew

Autor E. J. Johnson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iun 2000
EJ Johnson's story of nine young men who overcame unbelievable odds with the 8th Air Force 490th Bomb Group flying missions over Germany during the 1944-1945 era of World War II - and lived to tell about it. After qualifying as a navigator in the Army Air Corps during World War II, E.J. Johnson went on to serve with the 490th Bomb Group of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. His crew led by Pilot Roy Hann, flew some of the most harrowing campaigns of the war including many to Berlin, the heart of the German war machine. Hann's Crew is more than a memoir, however, it is a moving tribute to the men, the missions and legacy of the unit whose courageous exploits proved vital in the conclusion of the war in Europe.

Notă biografică

Edward Johnson is a first-time novelist who lives in Melbourne. He is married and has two adult children.Ed has practised as a barrister specialising in workplace relations law and spent several years as an industrial officer and tribunal advocate, representing members of a large, public sector trade union in Victoria.Earlier in life, he was a teacher in Surrey, England, and in Montpellier, France, where he conducted English conversation classes at the Lycée Joffre. Returning to Australia, he taught French and Japanese at Brisbane Boys' College as their first head of modern languages.The son of a World War II veteran who spent nearly five years in Changi prison following the Fall of Singapore, Ed is passionate about military history and is well-read on the decline of colonial rule in South-East Asia. These interests and career background culminated in his debut novel, Blight, which explores Australia's military presence in Singapore before and after its occupation by the Imperial Japanese army. A faithful reimagining of historic events, Blight is a human-centric account of the changing fortunes and psychological damage experienced by a socially diverse range of characters. Equally passionate about rugby union football and depleting his wine cellar, Ed's love of French wines earned him the coveted Vin de Champagne Award in Australia.
