During WWII, on one raid alone, Nuremburg March 1944, more Bomber
Command airmen lost their lives than were lost in the Battle of
Britain. These were ordinary men who became part of extraordinary
events. One such was Arthur Darlow, the author's grandfather. A
pilot of a Lancaster crew in 405 RCAF, he was one of the legions of
men who took the offensive against the enemy for most of the war.
Their story, vivdly recreated here, is special. The crew's tour
starts with Bomber Command's Main Offensive in late 1943. German
night fighters and flak regiments defend their homeland with grim
determination and losses are high. But our crew survive. Thousands
do not. Darlow's crew continue, through D-Day and the invasion of
Western Europe. One day though, they are shot down over Belgium, to
become, in turn, prisoner, evader, casualty. Collectively they
experience it all. Not romanticised but written with feeling and
respect, this book should be read by all age groups.
