During the Second World War, thousands of young men volunteered for
service with the Royal Air Force. Some of these became fighter
pilots, but a great many more were destined to be trained as
members of bomber aircrew; pilots, navigators, wireless operators,
bomb aimers, air gunners and flight engineers. On completion of
their training a number of these men were posted to XV Squadron, a
highly regarded frontline bomb squadron which had been formed
during the First World War. Bomber Squadron -Men Who Flew with XV
relates the personal stories of a small number of these men, giving
an insight to their anxious moments when flying on operational
sorties, staring death in the face in the form of enemy
night-fighters and ground fire, and relaxing with them during their
off-duty hours. The book also reveals the motivations, emotions and
personal attitudes of these men, who flew into combat on an almost
nightly basis. Their stories encompass the whole six years of the
war, over which period XV Squadron flew a range of different bomber
aircraft including Fairey Battles, Bristol Blenheims, Vickers
Wellingtons, Short Stirlings and Avro Lancasters.
