Description: The author was a bomb aimer on a Lancaster. He was posted to 75 New Zealand Squadron at Mepal in June 1944 and along with his crew were flung into the bombing operations in support of the Normandy landings and also into the desperate fight to destroy the V1 and V2 sites. Based on his diaries and accounts written at the time, Ron Mayhill’s graphic memoirs record what it was like to be in the nose of a Lancaster as he recalls the dangers and the exhilaration to fly both by day and night. It also describes everyday life on a bomber station, the take-off procedures, bombing and marking techniques as well as the individual raids, few of which could be described as routine.
