Above Us, The Stars : 10 Squadron Bomber Command - The Wireless Operator's Story (9781838595555)

"Fascinating, highly informative, and unbearably moving...beautifully written and meticulously researched."

Combining military and social history and personal memoir, this account explores the lifelong impact of Bomber Command operations upon 19-year-old RAF wireless operator Jack Clyde and the members of the Pennicott crew.

Illustrated with original photographs, Above Us The Stars provides a glimpse into the everyday life of a Halifax bomber crew, and the horrors faced both by the airmen and German civilians "on the ground". The book draws upon interviews with citizens of Jack's home town of Seaham Harbour, and with the last surviving member of his crew. Their accounts are interwoven with a detailed analysis of contemporaneous historical sources, and of 10 Squadron's operations from the commencement of the Battle of the Ruhr in the summer of 1943, until the end of the war.
