The author left his job with Myers stores and joined the RAAF. Intent on flying, he ended up in a Lancaster bomber in a British squadron, "Flying Backwards" over occupied Europe.
He brings to life the highly stressful ordeal of spending hours on end, peering into the darkness in an attempt to see the enemy night fighter - before he sees you.
A great insight into a man's life in the air war where the casualties were so high for all in Bomber Command.
