Michael J Novosel
I was lucky enough to meet Michael Novosel in 2003. Whilst having a coffee he answered any questions I had about his experiences over his long flying career. As is found with people that are awarded their nations highest honours he just said that he was doing his job.
I have my personal signed copy of 'Dustoff' in a pride of place on my bookshelf, an excellent read.
Chickenhawk was a required read on my pilots course.
