Publisher's Synopsis
"I saw the tiny, uniformed figures, the bicycles and trucks moving on the roadways of the camp, and rejoiced in the strength of the aircraft climbing in the sunshine at my command." Lancaster Target is the classic story of one crew's fight to fly and survive a full tour of operations in the night skies of wartime Europe. Flying Lancaster bombers from RAF Wickenby in Lincolnshire between 1943 and 1944, Jack Currie chronicles the life and death struggles against flak, night fighters and perilous weather with clarity and feeling, whilst capturing the "live for the moment" spirit of off-duty escapades.
