'A Bomber Command Survivor' |
|
by Stanley E. Harrison DFC DFM |
|
The wartime reminiscences of a
Bomber Command Pilot |
Stanley Harrison is not the kind one would expect to have had an
illustrious career as a bomber pilot.
The soft-spoken man now lives quietly in Shelley, where he spends much of his
time growing magnificent roses. But a bomber pilot is exactly what he was in the
dark days of World War II.
After being out of print for several years Sage Pages is currently reprinting
his successful book, 'A Bomber Command Survivor', which encompasses this most
frightening period in living history. His involvement as an RAF Bomber Command
pilot covered two full operational tours ( 27, 90, 61, 97 & 617
Squadrons ) and he was among the fortunate five per cent who emerged
physically unscathed.
The book details the rigorous ordeal facing a team of young men in one of
history’s blackest times. The thrills, anguish, hope and relief of each
mission is vividly captured, and there’s also a glimpse of wartime England,
the development of aircraft of the era and various innovations.
