Dennis Pearce: RAAF Butterworth & Vietnam

Posted on: Mon 22 Nov 2021

Today we re-broadcast interviews we conducted in early 2018

Enlisting in the Royal Australian Air Force in 1963 set Dennis on a collision course to serve in both Malaya and Vietnam, and we’re extremely privileged to hear his story. It’s unusual for Dennis to talk openly about his service, but he does so today.
