À propos de cet audio
During World War II, Canada trained tens of thousands of airmen under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Those selected for Bomber Command operations went on to rain devastation upon the Third Reich in the great air battles over Europe, but their losses were high.
German fighters and anti-aircraft guns took a terrifying toll. The chances of surviving a tour of duty as a bomber crew were almost nil.
Murray Peden's story of his training in Canada and England, and his crew's operations on Stirlings and Flying Fortresses with 214 Squadron, has been hailed as a classic of war literature. It is a fine blend of the excitement, humour, and tragedy of that eventful era.

Excellently written and read
I have listened to over twenty military themed Audible books and by far this has been the best both in writing style and how read. It was a pleasure to listen to and the first person accounts were well detailed and even educational. This audio book is highly recommended.

Great memoir, disappointing narrator
This memoir ambles along with enough detail to immerse you, yet not so much that the pace suffers. It is more a series of chronologically arranges anecdotes than a cohesive narrative per se. The narrator, however, lets down the story and writing with his consistently irritating tone, embarrassing imitations of British and American accents, and his annoying whisper-shouting. I feel that if there is shouting in the narrative, there should be shouting in the performance.
Enjoyed it overall!
