Delighted to have printer's copies of The Fifty – The Fallen Heroes of the Great Escape by Sean Feast & me.
Dedicated to former PoWs Cal Younger & Charles Clarke, whose commitment to their fallen comrades inspired this book.

Recently I’ve seen 'hero' used frequently when people speak about Bomber Command veterans.
Powerful word—but often used without much thought in wider culture
In this @FightingHigh podcast, I explore what hero means drawing on myth and literature.

With great sadness I heard from the family of George Dunn that he passed away this morning, peacefully, at the age of 103.
He was my friend, and I will miss him. But I have many memories of happy times together.
George flew as a Halifax and Mosquito pilot (1/4)

Shot down on 41st op — an extraordinary account.

Fantastic day @deHavMuseum on Sunday for the roll out of their DH98 Mosquito FB. VI. An extraordinary achievement and further testament to the superb work carried out at the museum - it really is a gem, informative and brilliantly curated.

On display at the RAF Club. Dowding, Churchill, and Park. Great men who achieved great things defending the free world 85 years ago.

Great to see - Bomber Command receiving justifiable recognition for it's part in the Battle of Britain. Well done @MeganEKelleher and team!
By night, Bomber Command braved fire & flak and 18-year-old John Hannah VC fought flames with his bare hands to save his crew.

#onthisday in 1940 the first bombing raid on Berlin, Germany of the Second World War by Bomber Command took place. Over 70 aircraft, made up of Wellingtons, Hampdens and Whitleys, took part. #ww2 #worldwar2

Remembering those lost in the Shoreham Air Show crash, 10 years ago. I was there signing books with veterans—Jo Lancaster, Bomber Command & test pilot, stated straight away the Hunter hadn’t enough height for the manoeuvre and should have pulled out.
