Description

In first-hand, contemporary accounts and with over 200 photographs, many hitherto unpublished, the authors recall vividly what it was like to live on a bomber squadron in wartime... There are pictures of 'prangs', ditchings, flak and fighter damage, veteran 100-op Lancs - and Lancs with gaudy nose insignia. THe authors have scoured the world for nearly 20 years in order to present this nostalgic symposium. It is their tribute to the finest bomber of World War II. - from inside front cover.
