WAAF IN BOMBER COMMAND

by Pip Beck

A sensitively-written true story by a RAF Bomber Command wartime R/T operator, who talked down the crews on their return from operations, met them off-duty and so often mourned their loss within days. The book sparkles with humor and anecdote yet has a very special poignancy. The author writes of her "deep admiration for the men of bomber command who carried the fight to the enemy when no one else could. They were, and are, truly remarkable men." A volunteer in 1942, Pip Beck worked as an R/T operator and wireless operator with Bomber Command, ending her service with two years at Upper Heyford.
