Description

One of the finest war memoirs ever written.

All through World War II, Canada trained tens of thousands of airmen underneath the British Commonwealth Air Coaching Plan. The ones decided on for Bomber Command operations went directly to rain devastation upon the Third Reich within the great air battles over Europe, but their losses were high. German fighters and anti-aircraft guns took a terrifying toll. The probabilities of surviving a tour of duty as a bomber crew were almost nil.

Murray Peden’s story of his Coaching in Canada and England, and his crew’s operations on Stirlings and Flying Fortresses with 214 Squadron, has been hailed as a classic of war literature. This is a fine blend of the joy, humour, and tragedy of that eventful era.
