An excellent collection of memoirs from the men who flew or were Observer/Navigators on the Beau during WWII and one story about operations in Malaya. Puts you right in the cockpit or observer's bubble.
Enjoyable and enlightening. Many of the 24 experiences are very similar. What is evident is that this old bomber generated a lot of fondness and camaraderie.
