First edition 'For the first time the story of the Royal Air Force in the Far East is told. But Lion in the Sky, does more than this for it also tells of the people and the lives they led at Seletar from the earliest days right up until 1968. In this way the book is unusual in that it reads more lieka history-novel than a straight-forward history' (inside dust-wrapper)..
