Lancaster: The Forging of a Very British Legend

Reviews

Such GREAT writing that 'puts you there' as you read stories of this iconic aircraft and the incredible people who flew and crewed them. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone - even those with only a fleeting interest in history, aviation, WW2 or simply tales of daring do. You can see the damage in the photo! So moving.

The ending was particularly powerful. I read the last chapter while sat in the back of a Herc flying into Baghdad last night. I think, as perhaps only the author can (if you know his back story), he brings to life the experience, trauma, emotion and sheer terror of being shot down and the drama that follows.

Most importantly, he has done those brave aircrew proud and helped to keep their stories alive in the most enthralling and fitting way. The accounts were genuinely gripping and he has told them in such a perfectly pitched way.

I only wish I wasn't going to be reading this so quickly but I can't help it :) I hope my friend enjoys reading it as it is s gift for him. This book is an incredible tribute to the Lancaster and all those associated with it.
