Lancaster Target is the classic story of one crew's fight to fly and survive a full tour of operations in the night skies of wartime Europe. Flying Lancaster bombers from RAF Wickenby in Lincolnshire between 1943 and 1944, Jack Currie chronicles the life and death struggles against flak, night fighters and perilous weather with clarity and feeling, whilst capturing the "live for the moment" spirit of off-duty escapades.

Reminiscence Large Print

"We were soon to be posted, the Air Commodore told us, to the USA and in this we were fortunate young men: the training there would be of the highest order, in unparalleled conditions of environment and climate, far away from blackouts, bombs and rationing; this good fortune, however, carried its responsibilities." Squadron leader Jack Currie tells the story of his entry into the Royal Air Force, his early training in the UK and his initial flying training with the US Army Air Corps under the Arnold Scheme. This lead to his first solo flight and he was rewarded with that coveted pair of silver wings. Thence back to England and Bomber Command to meet the men who were to be his Lancaster crew.

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 elite 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.
