Few units in the Royal Australian Air Force have earned a legacy as storied and battle-tested as No. 2 Squadron, and Highest Traditions stands as the definitive chronicle of that remarkable history. John Bennett traces the squadron's operational life from its earliest formations through decades of conflict, detailing the aircraft, the missions, and above all, the men who flew them across theatres that stretched from the Pacific to the Middle East and beyond. Bennett writes with the precision of a military historian and the narrative drive of a storyteller, weaving personal accounts and operational records into a cohesive portrait of institutional courage. The result is a work that honours the squadron's motto while raising the inevitable question: what does it truly cost to uphold the highest traditions?
