Five Of The Many

"From the bomb-aimer's position the sight was awesome. Six thousand feet below, Dunkirk was a sea of flame glinting like a brightly spotlit plaque of beaten copper." Steve Darlow follows the fascinating exploits of five of RAF Bomber Command's distinguished airmen. The enthralling stories transport the reader into the intensity of the bomber battle over western Europe. Collectively these men took part in some of the most devastating raids in history. These men all come close to oblivion on numerous occasions. But, unlike 55,000 of their colleagues, they managed to survive to tell their stories, which are a fitting tribute to the youthfulness, skill, determination and sheer guts of the many.
