My father was shot down over Berlin, although the plane limped on ,but the three planes that attacked it thought they were done for. Two engines on fire, and soon the third gave out, but they managed to ditch and all bar one of the seven survived. Three POW and three evaders. Had, with help, tracked down who probably claimed the kill, and so wanted the book to look for myself. There is actually a picture of the man who likely did the deed!!!. As the planes usually attacked in threes, two JU's and an ME, guess only the bigger plane logged the kill. To actually see the photo of the Luftwaffe night fighter pilot who claimed the kill completes my research into my dad's time in Bomber Command with 460 Squadron. Extremely good book for those wanted to research and cheaper than German publications.Read full review

Well organised, but definitely a reference work rather than entertaining reading. A "must" for anyone working on RAF nocturnal losses. Would benefit from the addition of guidance regarding tracing of claims made by the Air Gunners of Luftwaffe night bombers.

A specialist book but extremely interesting. Not for casual readers!
