Everyone in the worlds best mate, but the biggest lone wolf
that has ever pranced the planet. If you were forced to go to
war he would be the first one you would pick to be bunkered
up with in a trench. Knows no better than to put others first,
maybe that is why he is so unique. Possibly the best all-round
sportsman to ever grace the earth. Gives unconditional love
but does not really know how to receive it. Is slightly
frustrated with the world and mankinds lack of love for one
another. The reason he still walks and talks is through his faith
in Jesus Christ. This is why he has put pen to paper and
pumped out this book. To get Gods message into mankinds
mindset! Signed his sidekick, The Scarlet Pimpernel.

For the next two years he roamed the skies of the Great
Southern Land as a commercial pilot, quite an achievement
for one so young.
However things were about to take a drastic turnaround
in young Bills life and hundreds of millions of others on
Planet Earth, this event being the Second World War. He,
like so many others, was off to battle.
Young Bill was a devout Christian although he didnt
have a particular denomination when it came to his faith,
whether it was Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Lutheran,
Baptist, Seventh Day Adventist, Church of England or the
Anglican Church who all new the only way to heaven was
through Jesus Christ. He knew all came under the one
banner of Christianity as all worshiped the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit and despite their little idiosyncrasies all
believed in the one true Creator. Bills faith and belief in
God had made him extremely daring, particularly in the air
with the lad being completely devoid of fear.
Bill arrived in London on the 27th of July, 1940, where
he was greeted by his Group Squadron Leader Maximillian
Milestone, a genuine Englishman steeled for battle and a
hero from the First World War when he had taken down a
record 77 German Fokkers.
The two struck up a great camaraderie from day one.
Maximillian willingly took young Bill under his wing.
They were based in Luton Town, on the outskirts of
London where they would be in training for the battle with
the out of line Germans.
Bill had two months from the day he arrived in London
to train and prepare for his first bombing raid.
The Aircraft he was to fly was the Lancaster Bomber, a
flying fortress and most magnificent craft for its time, one
the krauts would learn to dread in the long run.
The two months involved intense training. However on
weekends Bill and Max would let their hair down. Max was
an avid Chelsea Football Club fan and his mission with
12
Bill, other than that in the air, was to convert him to the
C.F.C. One wintery English Saturday afternoon Chelsea
were playing at home against Manchester United and Max
being a seasoned ticket holder wasnt letting the
opportunity slip as the two clubs were fierce rivals.
On arriving at Chelseas home ground Stamford
Bridge, Max parked his Vauxhall in a backstreet near the
ground.
The boys alighted from the car. Max had left two
windows half an inch open to let his pet Rottweiler be
comfortable enough for the couple of hours the lads would
be at the game.
The Rottweiler was Maxs security guard and he took
him everywhere.
As the lads got about five metres from Maxs car a
childs voice came from behind causing Max to swing
around and set eyes upon a pale and ruffled urchin of
approximately seven years of age. Excuse me, sir! For
sixpence I will guard your Vauxhall while you are at the
game. Guaranteed that on your return everything will be as
when you left! said the somewhat cheeky young sprat.
No need, dear fellow, but thanks for the offer. Ive got
my pet Rottweiler in the car and hes a great insurance
policy! responded Max.
But the lad immediately fired back: Does he fight
fires? Horrified, Max replied: Heres two bob, kid, guard
it with your life!
Bills training went smooth as clockwork; it was time
for his first mission and the target was Hamburg,
earmarked, as it were, to cop the wrath of the Allies.
As the eighteen Lancaster bombers rattled and rumbled
on the airstrip, propellers cutting a swathe through the bitter
British winters night, Maximillian turned to Bill conveying
a heartfelt message: My young friend, God willing this
will be one of many successful missions you embark upon.
Remember what I have told you, that it is of utmost

Over the next five years young Bill would embark on 177
bombing raids and in between his time in the Lancaster
Bombers where he served as a pilot and on occasions a
tailgunner, however he did his best work when in command
of the Allies most maligned machine, the speedy Spitfire.
Towards the end of 1944 the Germans and Japanese were
wilting and the Allies had the upper hand.
If Hitler and his henchmen would have read
Napoleons Diaries he would never have made the fatal
mistake of going anywhere near Russia, particularly in
winter. He would have known the brutality of the climate
there and of the Russians scorched earth policy. He didnt
read and clearly did not understand history, otherwise we
may have all been speaking German now and have become
a world consisting entirely of blue-eyed, blond-haired
people looking nothing like Adolf himself instead of the
multi-coloured, multifaceted world we are today.
The Japanese, a cruel pack of bastards back then also
erred, and by the dumb act of bombing Pearl Harbour they
awoke a sleeping giant, inviting the mighty USA into the
fray.
It was now early 1945 with the war nearly run and
won. The Allies had a little bit of squaring up to do,
especially in Germany with the beautiful and majestic city
of Dresden to pay a terrible price. The allies embarked on a
three day and night bombing blitz with thousands of planes
fully pay-loaded levelling the pearl to rubble. Berlin was to
suffer a similar fate. In Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki
copped the full wrath, the Americans introducing atomic
energy into the war, delivered by the Enola Gay in the form
16
of the Fat Boy. It being the straw that broke the Japanese
back.
After the slaughter of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and nearly
all of Germany the war had ceased and the cost was huge.
40 million allies, 26 million of them being Russians, 7.5
million Germans, 3 million Japanese and God only knows
how many from the various nationalities who partook in the
conflict. The Jews, Gypsies, Gays and even the disabled,
were unceremoniously slaughtered: The ultimate
degradation and a slight on mankind.
Young Bill was 25 years of age when he returned to
Australia. He settled down, studied hard and became a
chemist. But after 7 years in practise, the daredevil and
adventurer wished himself out. He had no girlfriend, wife
or children, therefore no commitments or strings attached.
Bill wanted adventure but he also wanted to help. The
obvious place for this was New Guinea, working as a
missionary flying wounded and sick from A to B, over
treacherous terrain, narrow gorges and cloud-covered
mountains.
This suited Bills spirit of adventure and good nature as
he would again excel in the air.
He was given an off-sider, a local rascal tribesman by
the name of Randy, who showed Bill the ins and outs of the
vast terrain they would encounter over the next two years.
Both being avid fishermen the pair would often
compete for bragging rights as to who could land the
biggest catch. Bill would use his rod and reel and Randy
used the more old school approach with his handcrafted
teak spear and more often than not he would be the victor.
The pair spent the next two years roaming the skies
together and became great mates. As time went on Bill
often worried for Randys wellbeing as he had become
embroiled in the civil war with his tribes arch enemies, the
Head-hunters.

above all his faith. He was of the mind-set that one man
with God was the majority.
To make matters even more testing for the young lad,
he went to an all-boys school, St Pius X in the nearby
suburb of Adamstown. It was a pretty rough and tumble
school with students from the outer suburbs mixed in with
those from the so called, more affluent areas of Newcastle.
Most of the teachers were lay, although there were a
handful of Priests who also taught and one in particular,
Father Sidney Denam had several question marks hanging
over his head as to his sexual deviousness. One afternoon
Randy was in his mathematics class when there was a
knock at the door and Father Denam entered and asked the
mathematics teacher Willy Gizzard if he could take Randy
for a chat to see how he was coping with school. Once in
the priests office the man of the cloth sat down on his chair
and called Randy over to him so he was standing right next
to him and he went to work on the innocent youngster, I
have been watching you play sport during lunch hours and
it seems to me you are a very gifted athlete, putting his
arm around a tentative child and continuing on: What is
your favourite sport?
I love all sport, Father. Surfing is my favourite,
although I do like team sports as I love the comradery and
enjoy going hard at it for my team mates! the Priests left
hand slowly reached the top of the youngsters pants and he
commented to Randy, How are you enjoying school
Mister Phallus? slyly guiding his hand under Randys
under pants where he reached the juniors puberty and
stopped an inch away from Randys phallus, the youngster
reeling backwards in dismay and evil-eyeing the deceiver.
The knocked back priest in a veiled but threatening manner
responded, Go back to class now! You are not to mention
a word of this encounter! That is of course, if you want to
have a smooth ride through school! Randy exited stage left
at a rate of knots. On his way back to class he now
understood why when Denam was in the vicinity all the
21
older students would let the familiar cry ring out: Backs to
the wall Father Denam is after bat and balls! Therefore
after the encounter with the Priest he knew they were not
referring to cricket. From that day on Randy would always
be on red alert when the poofter Priest was prancing about
for his perverted feast. Randy detested having to address
Gordon as dad. One Sunday afternoon whilst Margaret was
overseas, Gordon decided to go hard at his stepson. He had
been left alone for two weeks to fend for three children and
it had become too much for him. Gordon had done the
laundry and once he had finished the ironing, a task which
angered him, he went for Randy, Get inside and remove
the laundry I have washed and ironed for you and make it
fast, you little bastard!
The terrified boy followed the instructions by removing
the pile of clothes hanging on a meter-long wooden pole
attached to the kitchen table, and then placed the bundle on
the end of the bed in the spare room. But instead of this
pleasing his step dad, it had the opposite effect and Gordon
exploded. What the bloody hell do you think youre
doing? Think I havent got better things to do than wait
around hand and foot on you. What are those clothes doing
on that bed?
I put them there, so they wouldnt become creased,
and I was in a rush to set the dinner table! replied young
Randy sheepishly, trying to defend himself in vain. Likely
excuse! an enraged Gordon bellowed, When are you
going to change?
Scared witless Randy innocently shrugged his
shoulders, which only threw fuel on the fire of his
tormentor who grabbed the wooden pole and wrapped it
around the back of the boys skull, thus dropping him to the
floor and all the while he kept screaming. You useless
bastard, you are the cause of all the trouble in this
household. Whether it is your mother and your sister
fighting, or your brother and mother or sister fighting, its
all your fault. You wont be playing cricket or soccer from
