There have been many books on the RAF operations of WWII but seldom one which describes so graphically what it was like to suffer the woundings and death of being pinned to pieces of a Lancaster fuselage falling in flames from 20,000 feet over Germany. This is done through the words of individual aircrew describing over twenty raids over Europe. The detail of various operations,their targets and the return flights which wounded pilots and crew, some to bale out or crash on landing, gave an immediacy which is both moving and horrifying.
