RAF Bomber Losses in the Middle East & Mediterranean Volume 1

1939-1942

Beschreibung

This series has been of enduring interest over many years, and is still highly sought after. Apart from the obvious interest to aviation historians, many people researching family history find these books invaluable, as so many families had someone in an RAF bomber squadron, who failed to return from active service. With the interest in family history increasing all the time and with many now seeking detailed information about wartime careers of relatives, the series will continue to be used by those seeking to find out more about fathers, grandfathers and other relatives who flew with, and died in the service of Bomber Command during World War 2.

Autor

David Gunby was, before retirement, Professor of English Literature at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand, specializing in Renaissance drama and poetry. He also has a life-long interest in military aviation, and particularly in Royal Air Force bomber operations, this originating in his father's service with 40 Squadron, the history of which was published in 1995 as Sweeping the Skies. He met Jo Lancaster, whose first tour of operations was with 40 Squadron, while researching the squadron history, and later persuaded him to record his memories of a long and distinguished career in aviation, now the basis of this biography.
