The author served in RAF Bomber Command during 1942-43 and this is his recollection of those times. The book was written in the 1950's from a diary he kept during the war. That is both it's strength and it's weakness. While well written, it often moves around from experience to experience and often without any introduction. I liked the book more as it went on because you knew more. A moving tribute and well worth your time. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

While most of the book covers these reflections, the tension of facing likely death is always with the reader and makes the book a classic for anyone wanting to know what the war was like for aircrew flying over Germany and Italy in those dark days. ( )
