Of every 100 operational airmen in World War Two, 9 were killed
flying in England and 3 severely injured in crashes, so
non-operational casualties were significant in numbers, over
15,000. Operational casualties were of course chillingly grim –
over 56,000 airmen died in the Second World War, over half those
involved. George Culling was a nineteen-year-old Lancaster
navigator whose own experiences often involved battling tricky and
dangerous conditions. Fascinated by the ever-present dangers for
airmen even well away from combat, he has collated tales from
comrades and combined them with his own to preserve some of the
unexpected, inconvenient, dangerous, and often downright bizarre
experiences that frequently typified daily life for airmen in the
Second World War.
