A vivid first-hand account of the tension and excitement of flying missions over Nazi Germany.

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 36 such raids. In this book, he records, in his own words and those of his fellow survivors, the events that made operational flying such a fearful experience.

This is a blisteringly honest account of life for the Second World War bombers.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
