Description
A Lancaster bomber required a crew of seven men, flying nightly missions into the exploding skies over Germany: Piers the navigator, Van the pilot and Charlie the 17-year-old poetry-reading rear gunner, among them. And on the ground were the women who waited for them – praying each night for their safe return. An emotive, gripping, heart-wrenching novel of men and women at their best.
