Product Description

The compelling autobiographical sequel to Lancaster Target graphically and humorously describes all aspects of life as a WWII RAF bomber pilot on `rest'. Mess life and antics intermingle with Jack's real task of instructing trainees on the fourengined Halifax bomber. Following his return to operational duties as a glider pilot, Jack was later posted to the élite Pathfinder force flying Mosquitoes of 1409 Weather Flight as a `Weather Spy' where his weather signals provided vital information for the advancing bomber stream. An illuminating portrait of RAF life.

very readable
I thought that the author's "Lancaster Pilot" was one of the best books about air in the war that i have read.This is the third book in the trilogy.Whilst it is a very good read it is not quite as good as the other 2 and that is because despite his protestations he was not returned to active duty after his tour finished,He became an instructor,then a glider pilot and finally flew Mosquitos on weather trips,virtually unopposed over enemy territory.So that insecurity which permeates the first 2 books is not there.In fact life became slightly routine for him.So although not quite up to the standard of the first 2 this is still an absorbing study of the RAF in the last year of the war
