About
the author
Lloyd Duncan Knight
I
was born in Sydney, Australia in 1932. Leaving high school at a
pre-matriculation level, I joined the Royal Australian Air Force in 1951. My
flying career spanned an unbroken period to my retirement in 2003. It comprised
three approximately equal phases, as an air force pilot, commercial pilot and
examiner of airmen.
In
addition to an operational tour as a fighter pilot in Korea in 1953, I also served in
Vietnam as a helicopter pilot in 1969. During more than two thousand hours flying
Hercules, C130A transport planes, I also made many flights to Saigon, Vung Tau
and RAAF bases in Thailand and Malaysia, and US bases across the Pacific. I accrued more that five thousand
hours in aeroplanes and eleven thousand hours in helicopters.
Previous
publications are; a home study course in Instrument Flying, (1980), and a
novel, Rainbow, No End, (2005) <www.trafford.com/05-0346>. I live in Melbourne with my wife, Bonnie.
