The Flying Grocer by Rupert Guinness

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor edgewear. Small mark on tail foredge.

This is the true story of the Lancaster G2 bomber crews in World War II and their humanitarian drops over Holland through the eyes of one, 19-year-old Australian pilot, Keith Bennett D.F.C. Dubbed the "Flying Grocer" by the Dutch recipients of their supplies that were dropped over Holland in what was called Operation Manna, Keith Bennett passed away in late 2003. However, Flight Officer Bennett's amazing story remains alive through revealing flight logs, personal photographs and correspondence - itself rich in military history. (publishers blurb)
