An informative and personal account of a young man's flying
experiences during WW2. Growing up in York, shaped by the threat of
war-Jack Colman achieves his long held desire to become a pilot,
joining the RAF in October 1940 just after his 21st birthday. He is
sent to Canada to learn to fly and becomes intrigued by the
technical and practical aspects of flying and navigation. Becoming
a Pilot/Navigator, he joins Costal Command on Liberators based in
Iceland. The practical difficulties of flying over the North
Atlantic and Arctic Oceans protecting the convoys and hunting
U-boats are relived as he battles with atrocious weather and
navigational uncertainties. His brushes with death whether due to
mechanical failure, hitting the sea, U-boat gun fire or running out
of fuel, in an ever changing hostile environment are described
realistically and calmly (often with humour), situations helped by
a confidence in the good advice given by others, his knowledge,
skills and a trust in his crew. When training he hears about the
death of his father, on leave he finds time to fall in love and
marry.
