Description
Jack Colman's memoir offers a unique perspective on his experiences as a pilot and navigator during World War II. In 1940, at just 21 years old, he joined the RAF and embarked on a journey that would take him to Canada to learn to fly before being deployed to Iceland to operate Liberators in Coastal Command. Colman's account is marked by its candour and humour as he recounts the challenges of flying over the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, including encounters with U-boats and treacherous weather conditions. He also shares personal moments, such as hearing about the death of his father while training, and finding love on leave. Through his story, Colman sheds light on the technical and practical aspects of flying and navigation during this period, offering a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who played a crucial role in protecting convoys and hunting enemy submarines.
