Spanning a Melbourne childhood through 31 years in uniform, MacNeil writes from inside the routines and pressures of aviation—training, briefings, long patrols and the steady readiness that shapes a career in the air.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAccepted for aircrew as WWII ended, he returns during the Korean War and moves into high-responsibility maritime patrol work, flying Neptunes through the anxious decades of the Cold War.
