Bomber Flight Berlin

{detailed description}Flying Lancaster bombers on raids into Germany was one of the most dangerous missions of the war. Casualties in Bomber Command were shockingly high; there was statistically only a 25 per cent chance of a bomber crew surviving a full tour of operations.
Night after night Flight Sergeant Geoffrey King and the crew of C Charlie risked their lives. Together they faced incredible dangers, near misses, close encounters with the fighter planes of the Luftwaffe and crash landings. Against this background a friendship was formed that bound them together against all odds.
Between May 1943 and May 1944 Geoffrey King, skipper George Laing and their crew flew thirty missions over Germany, hitting Frankfurt and the Ruhr and bombing Berlin ten times. They trusted each other so much that they were determined to stay together after their full tour. They refused to take leave and be split up; instead they volunteered immediately for another tour.
Geoffrey King and the crew of C Charlie are unique in having flown together for fifty missions and living to tell the tale. Bomber Flight Berlin is the story of a group of ordinary men from different walks of life, thrown together by the forces of war. It is the story of those missions above Berlin, as they flew into what seemed like certain death, while aircraft all around them were blasted out of the sky. It is also a testament to a remarkable friendship.
