Beginning in 1917 with Lord Balfour's miraculous safe landing after an extraordinary ejection from his crushed bi-plane'Out of the Blue' is a breathtaking assembly of stories - some horrificsome humorous some frankly incredible - told with extraordinary freshness and vividness by some of the legendary names and unknown heroes of three wars.Air Marshal Sir Edward Chilton reconstructs in riveting detail the epic 'Channel dash' by three German battlecruisers in broad daylight through the Straits of Dover in 1942.Group Captain Leonard Trent VC tells how the luck of the draw saved his life in the Great Escape from Stalag Luft III in 1944.Japanese fighter pilot Yutaka Yokotawho volunteered as a 'human torpedo' in the Pacific warrecalls how mechanical trouble prevented him from making the supreme sacrifice for his Emperor.

When he died in 1946Flight Lieutenant Jack Mossop left behind a widow and childa chest full of medals and a diary.He was 26 years old.The diary gave tantalising glimpses of his career; sixty years onhis son has uncovered the truth.It is the story of an ordinary Durham lad called upon to perform extraordinary deeds. Serving initially as a Wireless Operator in 49 Sqdnhe progressed to 76 Sqdn under the legendary Leonard Cheshire VCand finished as a Deputy Master Bomber with the elite Pathfinder Group in 35 Sqdn. To complete even one tour of duty was against the odds.To complete a second and then to volunteer for a third was nigh-on incredible.Small wonder that one of his crewmates called him 'The bravest man I ever knew'.It is all the more tragic that he died a civilian's death on board a BOAC Lancastrian after the war in suspicious circumstanceswhich attracted the attention of the Prime Minister himself. Jack saw most of the great actions of Bomber Commandfrom the 1000 bomber raids of 1942to the Battles of the Ruhr and Berlin in 1943and the daylight operations of Normandy before and after D-Day.His story stands as a microcosm of the entire bomber campaign.'A Pathfinder's Story' is a fascinating and stirring account of courage in war:a tribute not just to one manbut also to the contribution to victory of the nameless thousands whose stories will now never be told.

From the ashes of a shattered nation in 1918the German Air Force rose again.The climax of the campaign in the West in 1940 - when the Luftwaffe was to play a vital role - can now be seen as the zenith of its fortunes and strengths.But the victories won during 1939-40 were as nothing to those won over the previous twenty years as Germany overcame the restrictions that had been imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. This bookthe product of much new research in military archives in GermanyFrance and Britaintells the story of how Germany came to develop the Luftwaffe.Here are the secret years of German aviation up to 1935when even the German government was misled as to the existence of training programmeswhile barely any effort was made to meet the Armistice demands. . . Edward Hooton demonstrates just how well informed Allied intelligence agencies were of Luftwaffe developmentbut of the failure to use that intelligence correctly; how the Luftwaffe's training organization failed to improve upon the flawed system of World War One; and of the existence of a genuine strategic role for the Luftwaffe and plans to fulfil it. Other facts that emerge from this study are the extent to which later Luftwaffe strength and quality relied on a few far-sighted individuals in its early days; the contribution of Milchin organizing the aircraft industry; of Weverin shaping operational doctrines and concepts until an untimely death; and of Blombergin allowing the Luftwaffe to exist as an autonomous organization. The story of the Luftwaffe from creation to victorious justification in war is vividly told here for the first time in detail and in one volume.It is a fascinating insight into a unique period of military aviationas tactics and technology raced each other set against a background of rearmament and resurgent German militarism in the years before and during the initial campaigns of WW2.</p> LONDON.BROCKHAMPTON PRESS,1999. hardcover

In 'Fighter Boys' Patrick Bishop brought to life the pilots who flew Spitfires and Hurricanes in the summer of 1940.Their skill and bravery decided the Battle of Britainsaved the nation from invasion and created conditions for Hitler's defeat.In 'Bomber Boys'Bishop tells a different but equally fascinating story.The 125000 men from all over the world who passed through Bomber Command during the Second World War were engaged in a form of warfare that had never been implemented before and never would be again.Between 1940 and 1945 they flew continously stopping only when weather conditions made operations impossible.For much of that timethey were the only fighters capable of attacking Germany inits own territory.There was nothing romantic about their struggle.Often barely out of boyhoodthey lived on bleak basesflying at night on longnerve-racking missions that often ended in death.The odds of surviving were stacked heavily against them.In all55000 were killed counting for nearly one in ten of all British and Commonwealth dead. Despite these sacrificesthe Bomber Boys have remained on the edges of our collective memory.When the fighting stoppedthey became something of a political embarrassment.Their actions have been the subject of a controversy that continues to the presentobscuring not only the losses theysuffered but also the couragecomradeship and fortitude with which they fought. In this powerful and moving work of historyPatrick Bishopbrilliantly captures the characterfeelings and motivationsof the bomber crews and pays tribute to their heroism and determination.They were among the best of their generationwho were called on to carry out one of the grimmest duties of the Second World War.'Bomber Boys' brilliantly restores these men to their rightful place in our consciousness.
