Sinossi
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, vividly 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 romanticized but written with feeling and respect, this book should be read by all age groups.

Recensione
'The author...tells the story with an eye for detail which vividy portrays the daily and nightly terrors faced by bomber crews.' Western Morning News 'Superbly detailed.' Flypast 'An encounter with reality, of fear and frustration, victory and delight. A worthy successor to the film Memphis Belle.' --Oxford Times
'The book is fascinating... The author is to be commended both for the detailed research he has put in, and for including many personal accounts by the Belgians who had so bravely helped them.' --The Bulletin of the Military Historical Soicety
