Patrick Bishop looks at the lives & the extraordinary risks that the painfully young pilots of Bomber Command took during the air-offensive against Germany from 1940-1945. As featured on the BBC 1 documentary BOMBER BOYS, presented by Ewan Mc Gregor. They came from every corner of Britain & its Empire. They were the best of their generation…heading for one of the worst tasks of World War 2. Like RAF pilots, the thousands of brave young men who joined Bomber Command took to the air to help Britain triumph in World War Two. But in the glow of victory, the fighter pilots were lauded for their efforts while the Bomber Boys faded in national memory. Crucial in the heat of combat, they were politically awkward afterwards. Yet with an average life expectancy shorter than that of soldiers on the Western front in WWI, these men faced death, injury & capture time & again to send bombs through the shrieking flak onto enemy territory. ‘ Bomber Boys’ is a tribute to their strength, courage... ...

For Bomber Comm&, the term ' Phoney War' never really meant much. Five Blenheims of 107 Squadron were among the blood & bullets the day after war was declared & only one came back. On 14 December 1939, in a disastrous raid on shipping, 99 Squadron lost six Wellingtons with only three survivors out of thirty-six crew. Even worse, in the biggest air battle so far, 18 December, Wilhelmshaven, five Wellingtons of 9 Squadron went down, four of 37 Squadron & two of 149 Squadron. Bomber Command lost sixty-eight aircraft & crews in action in the four war months of 1939, & a further seventy-eight in accidents. In the months up to the French surrender, losses rose spectacularly as the Germans triumphed wherever they went. In a few hours on 14 May, resisting the Blitzkrieg, forty-seven Fairey Battles & Bristol Blenheims were shot from the sky. Through the Scandinavian defence, in France & Belgium, at Dunkirk &, at last, over Germany, for Bomber Command there was no Phoney War. It was real war from the start. ...

The county of Lincolnshire will forever be known as ' Bomber County' because of the many RAF Bomber Command bases dotted about its flat landscape. It is undoubtedly one of England's premier counties when it comes to military aviation. This rich history dates back to the days of the Royal Naval Air Service & Royal Flying Corps when rudimentary airfields were constructed during the First World War, through the RAF's night bombing offensive of the Second World War & on to the nuclear V-Force of the Cold War era. The 'bomber' tag relates only part of the county's aviation history. During the RAF's long association with Lincolnshire, there has also been a strong training element, which continues to this day; a front-line contribution to air defence of the UK; & a reputation as 'NATO Central' thanks to the comings & goings of various Europe-based squadrons at RAF Waddington during air combat training. For this new edition, most of the photographs are new. Maps of the bases' locations are included, as is a comprehensive Station-by-Station appendix featuring all the units based at over 150 airfields during nearly 90 years of aviation history. ...
