WOW! I'm buying that book. My grandfather was a gunner on a Lancaster. It still erks him to this day that the government provided parachutes for the pilots... and only... the pilots. This book will be a treasure for him.

Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day:

Shakespeare, Henry V


They did give him a parachute.
But the pilots sat on theirs already clipped on to their harness. Gunners had to take theirs from a rack outside the turret and clip them on.

And there I was feeling sorry for him.

"Alright gramps.. what other 'slightly altered' stories have you been stuffing into my wee little head!!"

Still getting him that book tho. How cool is that.

I have that book.

It is a good alround book with it's history section and information about the Battle of Britain flight in addition to all the technical bits.
