Description
Lancaster Target is a gripping account of one crew's fight to survive a full tour of operations in the night skies of wartime Europe. Jack Currie recounts his experiences flying Lancaster bombers from RAF Wickenby in Lincolnshire between 1943 and 1944, where he faced life-threatening challenges such as flak, night fighters, and perilous weather. Before joining the air force, Currie served as a stretcher bearer and ambulance driver during the London Blitz, and later became a renowned aviation writer and broadcaster. His story is a testament to the bravery and resilience of those who served in the RAF during World War II. This book offers a unique perspective on life in Bomber Command, capturing the 'live for the moment' spirit of off-duty escapades and the harsh realities of operational life.
