1 1 y separately published work icon Diary of a Spitfire Pilot Granville Allen Mawer , Granville Allen Mawer (editor), Kenthurst : Rosenberg Publishing Pty Ltd , 2011 Z1811667 2011 selected work diary war literature 'Flying Officer Granville Allen Mawer features in the annals of his country only as a footnote or two to the official History of the Second World War, published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office, which recorded some of his victories in the skies over the English Channel and Darwin between 1941 and 1943.

'He did not survive to make a mark in the postwar world or to enjoy the peace and security for which he fought, but he did leave his family with a candid and disconcerting record of the hopes and fears, triumphs and follies of three crowded years.

'Sixty-eight years on, his son and namesake has edited Mawer's war diary to reveal the impact of war, not only on the diarist but also on those who waited, worried and eventually mourned.'
