On a dark desperate night in June 1943 a stricken Halifax bomber limped low over Holland and crashed in a small meadow of cows. The aircraft was wrecked, but its crew, amazingly, stepped out alive and completely unhurt – just one of the twenty new and true stories of bravery, survival and luck, good and bad, contained in this book.

‘A very good read going a long way to helping understand what those chaps went through to achieve victory.’ – Bomber Command Historical Society Journal
