| It is this year’s highest award for bravery and has been presented to just one Australian, but for Lyndy Nerandzic, her late husband’s posthumous Star of Courage is a bittersweet honour.
Michael Nerandzic died in June 2011 after the airship he was piloting in Germany caught fire. Lowering the craft to a safe height, the 52-year-old ordered his three passengers to jump from the gondola knowing that the loss of ballast would send the airship shooting into the sky. As the blimp ascended, it took just seconds for the balloon to be engulfed by flames, the gondola and its pilot then crashing to the ground.
