Description

Flying Officer Alastair Panton's account of his time in the RAF during World War II is a powerful and moving testament to the courage and humanity of Britain's greatest generation.

Deployed at just 23 years old, Panton flew vital, dangerous missions throughout the campaign in support of troops on the ground. His Bristol Blenheim was easy prey for enemy fighters, with two crew losses per day at the height of fighting. Despite these dangers, Panton continued to fly, leaving behind a legacy that is both vivid and unforgettable.

Discovered by his grandchildren after his death in 2002, Alastair Panton's Six Weeks of Blenheim Summer is a remarkable story of survival and sacrifice, one that will leave readers in awe of the bravery and stoicism of those who served during this period.
