This is a collection of memories of crew members who flew in for Bomber Command in WW II. Some are training stories but most of what these men faced over enemy territory or on the way there and back. Heroism abounds but it does include the incident where a pompous pilot bailed out of his plane without warning the crew while over Warsaw because he was sure they would be shot down.

What was it like to fly through enemy skies, flak bursting, searchlight beams criss-crossing your route, enemy fighters likely to appear from nowhere? How did it feel to lose friends and colleagues night after night, to watch bombs explode on a target below, to observe destruction spread over a sleeping city? Real stories of war at its most horrific, of mid-air explosions, of crippled planes hurtling to the ground--truly a view of hell on earth. No library descriptions found. |
