An engaging account of an Australian flight deck crewman's life, of lifelong friendships and dangers shared, and adventures on the high seas, in the skies and in foreign ports. Where Life Falls is a brutally honest and frank account of one man's life, from humble beginnings in Tasmania's Derwent Valley up to the present day. A fast moving, easy to read Memoir, which is both interesting and informative, and highlights the difficulties experienced in the immediate post World War 2 period, and the challenges, dangers and mateship of Naval Service during the troubled period of the Indonesian Confrontation and Vietnam War. It also highlights the difficulty of one's transition from military service to civilian life, the harsh reality of the effects of war service on the individual, and the ongoing struggle to seek assistance and compensation for the physical and mental harm caused.
Autorenporträt
I started to write this biography many years ago with very little knowledge of what was required for the art of writing. Along the way, I found myself joining up with a local writer's group and I found their knowledge much greater than mine, hence from my first lesson I found friendship as well with many helpers. I learnt a lot from this group and this has enabled me to give real meaning to my life experiences which the reader's will see. One cannot go through life without having family, friends and mates to rely on and be given a lift up when needed. I also need to give my thanks to the many people that did some heavy lifting especially everyone in the medical fraternity who were there when my life needed a lift up.
