About this product

Product Information

'[Rees'] account of the danger and difficulty is gripping.a remarkable book.' - Canberra Times 'Rees has an eye for technical detail and a passion for the people involved. Lancaster Men is a rare blend of ripping yarn and historical reference.' - Herald Sun 'Informed and very readable.' - The Saturday Age 'A fitting tribute to these almost forgotten Australian heroes of World War II.' - Australian Defence Magazine More than 10,000 Australians served with Bomber Command, a highly trained band of elite flyers who undertook some of the most dangerous operations of World War II. They flew raid after raid over France and Germany knowing that the odds were against them. Stretched to breaking point, nearly 3500 died in the air. Their bravery in extreme circumstances has barely been recognised. Peter Rees traces the extraordinary achievements of these young aviators. He tells their hair-raising stories of battle action and life on the ground. And he recounts how, when they returned to Australia, they were greeted as Jap dodgers and accused of 'hiding in England while we were doing it tough'. Exciting, compelling and full of life, Lancaster Men is a powerful tribute to these forgotten Australian heroes of World War II.

Epic account of courageous men.
Having had a relation who flew Lancaster bombers, this book gave me an insight of what the pilot and crewmen went through during their many flight missions. Although their lives were on the block each time they flew, their apparent disregard for their own safety and focus on destroying the enemy came through as highlights on many of the pages of this book. Well written with great historical features and content.

Informative Read
Gives an enjoyably readable account of the role and experiences of the men in the RAAF who were serving in England during WW2 as part of Bomber Command. As an Australian, with an uncle who served in this theatre of war, it has given me a better understanding, knowledge and appreciation of just what was experienced by the young men during this time in our history. The book is written with anecdotal accounts of the experiences of many of these 'boys'. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and recommend it to all with an interest in personal stories and what it was really like at this time for those in this situation.
