Not for them the glorious, all-or-nothing exhilaration of the Battle of Britain pilots - rather, the slow dwindling of courage as mission followed mission, the long, freezing, ear-shattering journey to the target, the bursting flak, the prowling night fighters.  Then, if they were lucky, the long haul home, sometimes nursing a battered, barely flyable machine, often perilously short of fuel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBruce Lewis flew in thirty-six such raids. In this book he records, in his own words and those of his fellow survivors, the events that made operational flying such a fearful experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis is a blisteringly honest account of life for the Second World War bombers.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weidenfeld \u0026 Nicolson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895055216869,"sku":"NP9781474626286","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_6ea674ff-5292-4930-ba16-e740afa0038e.jpg?v=1773100317","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/aircrew-isbn-9781474626286","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
