Lancaster Down!: The Extraordinary Tale of Seven Young Bomber Aircrew at War

by Stephen Darlow

The grandfather of the author was a pilot in a squadron made up of Britons and Canadians. The story of this crew, from 1942 onwards, is so special because, collectively, they experienced everything possible: dangerous flights, the crash, imprisonment and death.
