The life of Air Vice-Marshal Alan Reed AO is one that could read like a 'boy's own adventure'. From humble beginnings as a National Service trainee in Perth in 1952, Alan's career took him all the way to the rank of Air Vice-Marshal and in command of over 12,000 people within the RAAF Support Command organisation. Along the way Alan flew a wide variety of RAAF aircraft, including the maritime version of the Lincoln, the Canberra bomber, the F-4E Phantom and the F-111. His experiences included fortuitously being removed from a doomed Lincoln flight that crashed into Mt Superbus in South-East Queensland, a 24-day around-the world trip in a Canberra formation, and his opportunities to fly both the Phantom and the F-111C in RAAF service. Alan was also privileged to be one of only six RAAF pilots to fly Phantoms on exchange with the USAF during the Vietnam War, where he flew over 100 reconnaissance missions during a 179 temporary duty assignment, receiving the USAF Distinguished Flying Cross. Alan passed away on 24 July 2021, not before he had the chance to reminisce with many of his compatriots at the Air Force's centenary commemorations on 31 March 2021. This book draws upon the content of Alan's autobiography, also entitled Invited to a War, and presents the episodes of Alan's life in the RAAF. It tells the story of a man who dedicated his life to the RAAF and, despite the highs and lows of any service career, never lost his passion for flying.

When a colored girl appears at her back door offering to help, Kay Ann welcomes her but holds slight hope that the tiny, crippled Say can make a difference in their situation. To her surprise, the teenager brings reinforcements for the battle and lightness to their burdens. The family also discovers Says exceptional musical talent and begins to envision more than the girl can grasp.

Invitation to a War is the eye-witness account of Larry Drew's experience of the war in the Pacific, first at Pearl Harbor and then on Guadalcanal. While a student at Ohio State University, he spent time in the ROTC program, learning the theory and methods of field artillery. Taking a year off to earn money to continue his education, he was literally invited on an "all-expense paid" cruise to Hawaii by the Navy Labor Board. It must have seemed like fate, for within a week of his arrival, Pearl Harbor was savagely attacked, right before his eyes. The story details the horror of the attack and its aftermath, and the courage and dedication of the survivors working to recover and rebuild, through the eyes of a young shipyard worker. After months of round-the-clock work and thinking the Japanese would attack again soon, Larry used the occasion of his first day off to join the US Army. He wanted to be carrying a rifle when they landed. The Japanese invasion of Hawaii didn't happen, largely due to the courage and resources of the US Navy and Army Air Corps at the battle of Midway. Larry, as part of the US Army's 25th Division, was called to relieve elements of the 1st and 2nd Marine Corp. Divisions in the offensive to take Guadalcanal from the Japanese. As a forward artillery spotter, he spent weeks behind enemy lines, calling in artillery strikes. His stories mix violent combat and tense missions with the camp activities between assignment and attacks. These events celebrate the character, courage, and at times even the indomitable humor of American fighting men of World War II.
