Flights Into History
In this compelling sequel to Final Flights aviation archaeologist Ian McLachlan has reconstructed the dramatic last flights of Second World War airmen including the first Fortress to fall in combat from the USAAFs 447th Bomber Group; the final flight of an intruder Mosquito pursuing a German night fighter; the courage of a Lancaster pilot responsible for six lives aboard a burning aircraft; the story of a Spitfires last flight and its heroic Belgian pilot. Exciting stories are also recounted of those whose misdirected courage saw them serve under the swastika. In reconstructing long-forgotten wartime events often from buried wreckage eyewitness accounts and contemporary documentation aviation archaeologists can bring recognition to the individual flyers involved and shed new light on the
air war over Britain and Europe during the Second World War. Even the discovery of small fragments can be significant. They provide evidence or prompt new research revealing stories that offer a uniquely human dimension and reveal the hopes fears aspirations and pleasures of the aircrew involved. Ian McLachlan and other aviation archaeologists have now done them justice.
