Description
This 2021 Year Theme Four Coin NCLT Set commemorates the Centenary of the Royal Australian Air Force and was issued by the RAM in the "Four Coin "C" mintmark & [B], [S], [M] Privymark" Set.
The aviator depicted on the cover of the four coin set is Len Waters, who in WWII enlisted in the RAAF on 24 August 1942. Training first as a flight mechanic, he was later accepted for pilot training. Posted to 78 Squadron RAAF, he served in the South-West Pacific Area in 1944-45, first at Noemfoor and then Morotai and Tarakan in what is now Indonesia. Flying a Kittyhawk P-40N fighter serendipitously named Black Magic, he made 41 strike missions against fortified Japanese positions, and another 54 operational flights.
The Set was issued in the new style hard plastic case which is inserted in a cardboard outer slipcard sleeve.
