One can almost smell the flak, taste the cordite and experience the nervous "twitch" before jumping out of ones skin to the sound of exploding shells and detonating bombs in this pulsating and highly intriguing selection of never-before-told stories recalled largely by members of the revered "Lancaster" crews of RAF Bomber Command.
From this bombers introduction into service in 1942 with the famous if flawed raid on Augsburg on 17 April that year, to the attacks on the Tirpitz in 1944, each chapter is a tribute to the spirit of those who flew the "Lancaster" in anger and gained the respect of their enemies.
