Feathered Soldiers: An Illustrated Tribute

By Vashti Farrer About · Illustrated by Mary Small

Pigeons may be taken for granted but they have played a very important part particularly for Australia during World War II. One pigeon flew sixty-four kilometres in fifty minutes through a storm to save a shipload of ammunition. Amusing drawings highlight fascinating facts and true stories in this illustrated tribute to Australia’s wartime messenger pigeons.
