Gage - thanks

 

Any Martin Middlebrook raid books. Also look out for Martin Bowman.

 

Just ordered RAF bomber stories by Martin Bowman....

 

Boys, Bombs and Brussels Sprouts
by J.Douglas Harvey

 

Let me know how you get on with it.

 

Bomber Crew by James Taylor, Martin Davidson and Martin Davids.

 

Fiction wise also try this. Excellent.

 

If you want a good read from the American side, then I can recommend Combat Crew by John Comer. It's a superb first hand account.

 

'Enemy Coast Ahead' by Guy Gibson VC. You don't get more Lancastery than that! Several copies always available on eBay for a cheap read.

 

Try e-Bay.

 

Try this Kevin Wilson trilogy on Bomber Command too.

 

Some great recommendations by the looks of it......finished one I had on the shelf for a while 'the fly by nights' by Donald W. Feesey.

Now on to the next one

 

I loved Deighton's Bomber, but for non-fiction, you can try 'Ghosts of Targets Past', by Philip Gray. I met Philip here is Toronto, and he died last week.

I can also recommend very highly "A Thousand Shall Fall" by Stirling pilot Murray Peden. You'll laugh and cry.
