Özet

During World War II, Canada trained tens of thousands of airmen under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Those selected for Bomber Command operations went on to rain devastation upon the Third Reich in the great air battles over Europe, but their losses were high.

German fighters and anti-aircraft guns took a terrifying toll. The chances of surviving a tour of duty as a bomber crew were almost nil.

Murray Peden's story of his training 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. It is a fine blend of the excitement, humour, and tragedy of that eventful era.

There but for the Grace of God. This book is well narrated and captures the passion and comradeship of young men thrown together in the struggle for freedom and to survive against unfavourable odds during War in the Air. Both the Battle and down times are expressed in a one to one style that transports you into the mind of the author. Highly recommended.

A frank and personable account of one man’s war

A great account of what must have been some very scary times. the narrator makes the author seem likeable and engaging.

Some hilarious mispronunciations and abbreviation mistakes though. my personal favourite was referring to the lovely Bury St Edmonds as "Bury Street Edmonds!" How I love our North American cousins!

A tale well told
