Description:


Jack Kennedy (Sydney), Stuart Walch (Hobart), Dick Glyde (Perth), Ken Holland (Sydney), Pat Hughes (Cooma and Sydney), Bill Millington (Adelaide), John Crossman (Newcastle) and Des Sheen (Canberra): eight Australian Spitfire and Hurricane pilots of the Battle of Britain. Only one survived.

During the summer and autumn of 1940, the Luftwaffe launched their campaign to gain superiority over the RAF, especially Fighter Command. The result was the first major battle of World War II (or any war) fought entirely in the air. The Luftwaffe's defeat by 'The Few' marked a turning point in the Allies' favour.

The Battle of Britain is one of the most significant battles of the war, and until now, the role of the Australian 'Few' has received little attention. Kristen Alexander gives a personal account of eight Australian participants, drawing heavily on primary source material and original research. She follows these young men from childhood, through their education, training, personal relationships and flying careers, to death in combat (in the case of seven of the eight men), and beyond that to commemoration.

‘Kristen Alexander’s respect and admiration for the eight Australian pilots is evident in every page of this excellent book. It is a testament to both her writing and research skills and their lives and devotion to duty.’ – Australian Defence Force Journal

Less chemicals than others and it works! Need to sell a larger version however!
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Easy application and excellent for sun protection! One of the "cleaner" ones with less chemicals, but could be cleaner. The tube is very small, so we only use this for face and use Alba Botanica for body. Last time swimming for 1.5 hours, did not burn, while friends who used other sunscreens on their faces were sunburned. Coppertone, please make a bigger tube!

Was NOT Moana themed
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Worked perfectly for our Disney trip. Fit well in our fanny packs. Kind of greasy, but its hard to get away from that with sunscreen. Be advised, though, it was NOT Moana. It was just a regular stick. My kids were a little disappointed.

Perfect little sunscreen
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Easy for my son to apply himself at summer camp. Compact size for his backpack. Only downfall is it goes on white until fully rubbed in, which is normally fine but when my son is trying to get his face himself at camp it is hard for him. Wish it went clear on its own.

Works very well
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Sent this with my daughter to preschool application was very easy for the teachers. Overall the stick was a little bit smaller than expected but it goes a long ways. Was really happy with the overall ingredients in this product versus others. Well worth the money and my daughter was more open to having it because of the application being in a stick.
