Abstract
Copies of letters of James Bayley Watchorn written to his parents in Hobart while he was on active service with the RAAF during World War 2. The letters are exceptionally well written and reflect his feelings about his life as a fighter pilot and the people he met and include descriptions of the countries where he was stationed - Rhodesia where he trained, UK and West Africa - although he descreetly avoided reference to the war or his flying duties.He had been educated at Hutchins School and did the first year of his law course at the University of Tasmania before enlisting.
