***********************************
THE HEROIC STORY OF SEVEN MEN...AND THE WOMEN WHO LOVED THEM.
A crew of seven men in one Lancaster bomber: one American, one Scot, one foppish aristocrat, one Aussie, one aged London cockney, one semi blind mid-upper gunner and one seventeen year old who has lied to get into the air force.
Initially they fail to get on or work together - almost crashing on their first landing. Yet, as they begin their first real gut-dropping bombing raids over Germany and despite their mixed backgrounds, they begin to develop as a real crew, depending on each other.
Off the airfield, the women who love them pray every night for their safe return.
A wonderful emotive, gripping, heart-wrenching novel of men, and women, at their best.
