From Bomber County to Berlin – An RAF Airman’s WW2 Story
£9.99 plus postage
Step into the cockpit of a Lancaster Bomber and experience the extraordinary true story of Albert Walton, a young RAF airman from a quiet English village who found himself flying as part of a Special Operations unit, on perilous missions deep into Nazi Germany. Having trained as as Wireless Operator during WW2, nothing could have prepared him for what was to come
Told with vivid detail and emotional honesty, From Bomber County to Berlin traces Albert’s journey from the mining village of Boldon to the skies above Berlin. With several near misses, including a narrow escape during ‘Black Thursday’, his story of survival against the odds, and life as a prisoner of war is told in a new book. This gripping account is based on meticulous research, family letters, and first-hand memories from the families of all eight crew members who flew in Lancaster DV269, the men that became his family in the sky.
A powerful story of courage, luck, and resilience, this book offers a unique window into the secret world of 101 Squadron and the remarkable life of one ordinary man who lived through extraordinary times.
