Of every 100 operational airmen in the Second World War, nearly
seven were killed flying in England and more than three severely
injured in crashes. With a total of 12,398, the number of
non-operational casualties was significant. Operational casualties
were of course chillingly grim - over 56,000 airmen died in the
war. George Culling was a 19-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.
