The Story of the Men Who Flew the Bombers
The British and American bomber crews of the Second World War often had to endure the most terrifying conditions. Not for them the glorious all-or-nothing exhilaration of the Battle of Britain pilots - rather, the slow dwindling of courage as mission followed mission, the long, freezing, ear-shattering journey to the target, the bursting flak, the prowling night fighters; then, if they were lucky, the long haul home, sometimes nursing a battered, barely flyable machine, often perilously short of fuel.
Bruce Lewis flew in thirty-six such raids. In this book he records in his own words, and in the words of his fellow survivors, the events that made operational flying such a fearful experience.
