RAAF Hero Len Fuller - Part One: Born to Fly and Fight
Listen now
Description
In September 1940, young RAAF trainee pilot Len Fuller pulled off a mid-air miracle that made front-page news around Australia and around the world. In this instalment, we look at how his whole life seemed to prepare Len for those desperate moments 3000 feet above the NSW Riverina – and for the year he’d spend dicing with death as he fought the Nazis as a member of RAF Bomber Command. RAAF Hero Len Fuller - Part Two: The Mid-Air Miracle will go on general release on 30 October. RAAF Hero Len Fuller - Part Three: Blood Moon and the Setting of the Sun will go on general release on 6 November.
