Description
No Return Flight: 13 Platoon at Arnhem 1944 tells the story of a pivotal moment in World War II, when a group of British paratroopers embarked on a perilous journey to capture key bridges in the Netherlands. The fate of these brave men remains shrouded in mystery, until 54 years later, when one of the pilots, Sergeant Morley 'Taffy' Williams, sets out to uncover the truth.
With the help of a Dutch journalist, Williams embarks on a six-year search for his missing comrades, leading to a moving and personal story of the Battle of Arnhem. The book reveals the captivating stories of the airbornes, offering a surprising and gripping view on the events. The search also rekindles unexpected personal contacts between the pilot and some of his passengers, and their relatives, leaving a lasting impact on all involved.
This book is a poignant and thought-provoking account of one of the most significant battles of World War II, and the enduring legacy of the men who fought there.
