This book takes you, raid by raid, through the author's tour of operational duty over the last five months of 1944. It is a bomber pilot's story, but it is also about the grinding operational pressure, the brotherhood of the crew and fears of injury and death. It is about a squadron of Bomber Command that bore a barely-equaled burden in operational effort and losses. It is about young airmen the author knew, who lived and too often died amid the turmoil in enemy skies.

For people who have no experience of the second world war but are interested in the people who were in Bomber Command this is a good book to help understand.... Harry is very honest and self depreciating but celebrates both his crew and 75 (NZ) Sqn and their bravery... Very well written and easy to understand for us none techies.. I am a member of 75 (NZ) Sqn Association and think is a good memoir to everyone of that era.
