Description: |
This title looks at the formidable Wellington Bomber, featuring a host of first-hand accounts and reports from the individuals who played a part in its history. Entertaining, hair-raising and sometimes incredibly poignant, these stories fuse to give an authentic sense of the times in which this aircraft flew. |
Synopsis: |
The Wellington Bomber was omnipresent during the Second World War, employed in a variety of contexts in the fight against the Axis powers. The pilots who flew this aircraft did so with an immense amount of pride, and there is perhaps no-one better placed to tell the story of this incredible aircraft than these men. Martin Bowman has drawn together a selection of first-hand pilot testimonies in an effort to record authentically the experience of flying the much-mythologised Wellington during one of the most challenging eras of aviation history. The book is supplemented by two plate sections of stirring black and white images. |
