Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Scratches to back cover near barcode are now protected by book tape. Interior and binding are excellent.

On the evening of 24 February 1944, RAAF Lancaster bomber J for Jig took off from an airfield in Lincolnshire. On board was a crew of seven young men- five Australians and two Scots- whose mission was to bomb factories in Schweinfurt, Germany. But J for Jig never reached its target. It was shot down in the night skies over France.

This book is about the seven lives on that aircraft, who they were, what they did, whom they loved, and whom they left behind. Some were to die that night, and others were to survive, withstanding incredible hardships and adventures as prisoners and evaders in a war that was far from over.

Crew brilliantly recreates J for Jig's final mission, but more than that, in telling seven individuals' stories, Mike Colman has captured the achievements, losses and enduring legacy of the generation that fought in the Second World War. (back cover)
