Men Behind the Medals: The Incredible Endeavours of Twenty One Aircrew Whose Stories Deserve to be Told Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 11 ratings

This book pays tribute to the quite remarkable bravery of those young men who risked, and all too often lost, their lives for their country during the war. The author, himself a distinguished Royal Air Force officer, has singled out twenty-one men to represent 'the many' to whom he dedicated the book; but he has chosen them with care to illustrate, as far as possible, the wide scope of the duties of the Royal Air Force in wartime.
