Moresby's Few is a gripping piece of World War II Australian military history that chronicles the courageous story of No. 32 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), operating out of Port Moresby in New Guinea. Drawing on firsthand accounts and meticulous research, the narrative captures the desperate defence of New Guinea during some of the Pacific War's most critical early engagements, when a handful of RAAF pilots stood against overwhelming Japanese air power. Written with the authority of a witness to history, the book honours the extraordinary bravery of these airmen whose sacrifice helped turn the tide in the Pacific theatre. A vital and moving contribution to Australian wartime history, it stands as a lasting tribute to the men of the RAAF who flew, fought, and fell over the jungles of New Guinea.
