Don Charlwood
Donald Ernest Cameron (Don) Charlwood AM (6 September 1915 – 18 June 2012) was an Australian author. He also worked as a farm hand, an air traffic controller, and most notably as an RAAF navigator in Bomber Command during the Second World War.
While best known for ''No Moon Tonight'', his memoir of life as a crew member in Bomber Command, Charlwood wrote a number of other biographical, fiction and non-fiction works.
==Early life==
Born in Melbourne, Victoria, in 1915, Charlwood's family moved to Frankston when he was eight. Charlwood left Frankston High School in his Leaving Certificate year, to take a job with a local estate agency and produce market. When approaching 18 years of age he was required to train his replacement, and found himself in 1933 unemployed. He took a holiday at a relative's farm, ''Burnside'' near Nareen, found the life enjoyable, and was invited back to work there for the shearing and harvest of 1934.
At ''Burnside'', Charlwood was already writing and occasionally supplementing his wages by selling articles and short stories. He remained there through the thirties, but in 1940, as war unfolded in Europe and France and the Low Countries fell, he signed up for the RAAF, and was placed on the reserve.
