RAF flight engineer Norman Jackson, who climbed out onto the wing
of a Lancaster bomber in flight to put out a fire, using a twisted
parachute as a rope, on the night his first child was born;
children's writer turned Assistant Section Officer Noor
Inayat-Khan, who was the first female operator to infiltrate
occupied France and refused to abandon what had become the most
dangerous post in the country; to Irish seaman and Antarctic
explorer Tom Crean, who struck out alone for a supply depot during
Captain Scott's expedition to the South Pole to save the life of
his ailing companion, these courageous men and women are an
inspiration to us all. Written by leading historians and authors
Tom Bromley, Saul David, Paul Garlington, James Holland and Dr
Spencer Jones, these incredible accounts tell of the recipients'
determination and selfless actions in times of war. Each story is
introduced by a public figure, including Mary Berry, Bear Grylls,
Sir Bobby Charlton, Joanna Lumley, Eddie Redmayne and the late Sir
Ken Dodd.
