A powerful tribute to one of Australia's greatest wartime heroes — the 2021 Heroes of the Sky PNC celebrating the Centenary of the Royal Australian Air Force, featuring Pilot Officer Rawdon Hume Middleton VC.
Rawdon Middleton was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his extraordinary courage during a bombing raid on Turin in November 1942, keeping his stricken aircraft airborne long enough for his crew to bail out before he perished. This stunning cover features a $1 ‘C’ Canberra Mintmark uncirculated coin issued by the Royal Australian Mint, alongside RAAF Centenary stamps.
