This is a book that captures the horrors of World War II as witnessed by a young RAF bomber pilot.
This book takes you through the author's upbringing in pre-war Aberdeen to his eyewitness account of a raid by a German bomber on the shipyards in the city on 12 July 1940.
It describes how he came to join the RAF followed by his training in England, the USA and Canada before becoming operational. It then takes you, raid by raid, through the author's tour of operational duty over the period, September 1944 - April 1945.
It is primarily a bomber pilot's story and includes his sober reflections on controversial issues in which he was involved such as the bombing of Dresden.
However, it is also about the shared experience of the author and his crew and the risks they had to face. When they eventually met up again after a gap of 37 years it was an emotional and joyous occasion.
