New Zealand Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Park talks about the role of New Zealanders in the war. Commanding the RAF No.11 Fighter Group, Park was responsible for the defence of London and southeast England. He speaks proudly of the New Zealanders' record in the battle of Britain and Southeast Asia, the composition of the post- war R.A.F. and prospects for domestic air travel and commercial flying.
