A Bomber Command classic depicting the deep feelings associated with the human cost of the air war in World War II. This is the breathtaking story of a wartime Lancaster bomber crew facing the hazards of bombing strongly defended targets in Germany. An RAAF navigator with 103 Squadron based at RAF Elsham Wolds, England 1942, he crewed up with a pilot from Western Australia and British airmen to fly the iconic Lancaster bomber. Charlwood writes sympathetically and understandingly of the hopes and fears of the crews as squadron losses mounted.
