During the Second World War, 55,573 RAF Bomber Command aircrew were killed, a shocking 44.4% death rate. A further 8,500 were wounded and 9,800 became prisoners of war. The author of this memoir defied the odds becoming one of the few Lancaster Captains to survive his quota of sixty bombing missions. He describes his experiences as a pilot in WWII here, including his time in 106 Squadron and the elite 83 Pathfinder Squadron.
