Rezensionen

'This is not just another tale of heroism in the skies ... This is a tale of victory, in the end, magnificently told in lip-biting detail' Daily Mail

'Full of stirring stories that will make you marvel at the aircrews' fortitude ... deeply moving' Mail on Sunday

'Absorbing ... Thanks to the author's intimate understanding of the dynamics of a bomber squadron, the reader is taken inside the history and allowed to view events from a human perspective' Soldier Magazine
