PRODUCT DETAILS

Description

A compelling collection of stories told by Second World War pilots and crew, demonstrating the daily perils, bravery, ingenuity, and camaraderie of the Royal Air Force. Collected by the author, George Culling, who was himself a 19-year-old navigator in training on Lancasters in 1944, the book includes fist-hand accounts told to him by fellow comrades and members of the Air Crew Association. From navigating by the stars and the bravery of the gunners, to courageous skippers and aborted take-offs in a potato patch. Mixing the daily perils and stranger experiences of his RAF comrades, this vivid and poignant book preserves the memories of an unforgettable generation.
