Adam Lunney is a Sydney-based military historian and author. He has had a life-long interest in military history and has read widely on the subject for more than 30 years. He holds a Master of Arts (Military History) from UNSW College at the Australian Defence Force Academy and is a member of the Spitfire Association (Australia). Adam has travelled to World War II battlefields from the Solomon Islands to Europe, including Normandy and Arnhem. Adam's last book, Ready to Strike: The Spitfires and Australians of 453 (RAAF) Squadron over Normandy (2018), was awarded a 'Highly Commended' honour by the Chief of the Air Force in the 2018 RAAF Heritage Awards, and was described as having 'great heritage value'.
"Lunney's thorough use of primary sources (e.g., official reports, personal interviews, and diaries) guaranteed an all-encompassing story. While never losing touch with the larger squadron histories, he does a solid job of weaving in personal stories to bring the history to life. Capturing the living conditions, frustration, boredom, terror, excitement, and death experienced by the men certainly drives home the nature of war."-- "Air Power History"
