A reflective and deeply personal work of Australian memoir and aviation history, Flight and Time chronicles the life and career of Don Charlwood, a man whose identity was shaped profoundly by his wartime service as an RAAF navigator during World War II and his subsequent decades working in air traffic control. With quiet authority and lyrical prose, Charlwood traces the arc of a life lived in the shadow of flight — from the harrowing bombing missions over Europe that he first documented in his celebrated memoir No Moon Tonight, through to the peacetime years spent guiding aircraft safely through Australian skies. The narrative is both an intimate autobiography and a meditation on time, memory, and the weight of survival, rendered in the measured, contemplative tone that defines Charlwood's writing. Readers familiar with his earlier work will find this a rich and moving culmination of a lifetime's reflection on duty, loss, and the enduring pull of the sky.
