[edit] ACES, 'ERKS AND BACKROOM BOYS
This title contains first-person testimonies from those who kept Britain's aircraft flying and fighting.
When we remember the Second World War in the air, we think of fighter pilots and bomber crews. But it was also the men and women working as ground crew and in the aircraft factories who played a crucial role in defeating Hitler. What was it like, making history? What sense did these individuals have of what they were doing, either at the time or later? Did they feel they were caught up in the tide of great events? Or were they simply doing their demanding and often dangerous duty? Its reviews speak eloquently on its behalf: 'Fascinating... this collection illuminates corners of the wartime world... it provides a valuable and often entertaining window' THE GUARDIAN 'The horrors have not been suppressed... Every who speaks was very young then. You sense their wonder that they did the things they recall' THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
