Description

Very few people are aware that New Zealand airmen played a prominent part in the aerial defence of Malaya and Singapore in 1941-42,
They were out numbered too many times to count, Young inexperienced airmen flew against battle hardened Japanese pilots. The fighters they the flew were the outclassed Brewster Buffalo.They flew until almost all their planes were either shot out of the sky or destroyed on the ground by bombing and strafing. They flew replacement Hurricanes that arrived almost too late to take part in the battle. History tells us the the outcome of the Battle was pre-determined before it began.
Sergeant Pilot Geoffrey Fisken, the leading Commonwealth air ace both in Singapore and in the Pacific relates his own experiences . Part two "The Battle in the Air" is the second Part of the 'We never had a Chance' trilogy dealing with the Battle of Malaya/Singapore 1941-42
