Doug Leak is one of our very few remaining Australian World War 2 Bomber Command Veterans.  Born in South Australia at the beginning of the Great Depression,  Doug went on to join the Royal Australian Air Force, flying operational missions that contributed to restricting the German war effort, and  materially supporting  the eventual liberation of France.  A fascinating trip down memory lane with Doug!
