Donald Ernest Cameron Charlwood AM (6 September 1915 – 18 June 2012) was an Australian author.[1] 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 fictionalised memoir of life as a crew member in RAF Bomber Command (the fiction is revealed by comparing his straight autobiographical account of those experiences, Journeys into Night), Charlwood wrote a number of other biographical, fiction and non-fiction works.
