Description
During the Second World War more than a million and a quarter men and women served in the Royal Air Force, the majority against Nazi Germany and its European allies.
( … ) This book endeavours to capture the feel and flavour of that R.A.F. experience through the opinions, observations and anecdotes of veterans, the " ordinary bods " - although " special " would be a truer evaluation of many. Each man's or woman's involvement was small in the great scheme of things, but this collection of some 300 individual memories places the experiences in an overall perspective.
( ... ) The author, who has written extensively about the men, aircraft and operations of the 1939 - 1945 Air War, contacted more than 300 R.A.F. veterans in the course of preparing this work, including many from the Commonwealth and the once " occupied " countries in Europe.
