Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. British RAF wireless operator/air gunner Bill `Enoch' Kirkness of Horsforth, Yorkshire, flew thirty-two B-24 Liberator bomber sorties, twenty-eight of which were against Japanese targets in Burma. He was credited with downing the night fighter that killed a crewmate and severely damaged his Liberator in April 1944; his aircraft's crash-landing abruptly ended his first tour of operations. He was awarded a prestigious Distinguished Flying Medal for his heroism. Bill's memoir of Wellington ferry flights, Liberator training, and operations with 159 Squadron typifies aspects of the human spirit-including fear and anxiety, focused determination, numbing boredom, brotherly camaraderie, heart-wrenching anguish, and comic relief-which any young man immersed within such a conflict would have likely experienced. Bill wore his heart, not just his sergeant's stripes, on his sleeve. Bill's story is a compelling, dignified account of an average man's war from 1942 to 1944 in the UK, the Mediterranean, Africa, and onward through his first operational tour based in India. Matt Poole, an expert on 159 Squadron and RAF Liberator activities against the Japanese, seamlessly enhances Bill's narrative with added historical detail. Although Bill passed away in 1994, Matt vowed to help bring the memoir to a wider audience. Aboard RAF B-24 Liberators, wireless operator/air gunner Bill Kirkness DFM flew a tour of ops against Japanese targets in Burma. His memoir is a compelling, dignified account of an average mans war from 1942 into 1944 in England, the Mediterranean, Africa, and India. Researcher Matt Poole seamlessly weaves historical detail into Bills narrative. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Between 11 October 1944 and 8 April 1945, wireless operator/air gunner Roy Andrews flew thirty-five missions with the RAF's 215 Squadron, based in Bengal, India. His missions, some over fourteen hours long, included bombing, strafing, and Air-Sea Rescue operations against Japanese targets in Burma and Thailand, as well as three trips to the Thailand-Burma 'Death' Railway. Roy began as the squadron's second wireless operator, manning a .50-calibre beam gun. By January 1945, he became the primary wireless operator and completed the majority of his missions in this role. In addition to his operational duties, Roy managed various squadron tasks, such as censoring mail and preparing jungle kits. This book, based on Roy's personal experiences, offers insights into his upbringing in Hong Kong and Australia, his military training, and his time in India during the war. The detailed accounts of each of his thirty-five operations, as well as his two longest non-operational flights, are complemented by an analysis of 215 Squadron's B-24 Liberator activities. Historian Matt Poole contributes additional information on the squadron, including aerial bomb-strike photos and images never before published. This comprehensive work highlights a rarely covered chapter of RAF operations in the Far East during World War II. AUTHOR: Author Matt Poole, a retired U.S. Government geospatial analyst, has researched Second World War RAF Liberator operations in the Far East since 1990, when he began investigating the 1944 combat disappearance of his Liverpool, UK, born-and-raised mother's first husband, George Plank, a wireless operator/air gunner. This intense research led Matt to gain expertise in the activities of numerous RAF Liberator units primarily based in India and to assist families of Liberator veterans in learning of the exploits and sometimes losses of their loved ones. He has located many kin of the fallen, including cousins, children, widows, girlfriends and fiancees, in order to share his considerable findings with those who never knew loss details (only if they wished to know). He edited the memoir of another RAF wireless operator/air gunner, has written articles about Liberators over Burma in the RAF Association's Air Mail magazine and has given popular Internet podcast interviews. 32 b/w illustrations Between 11 October 1944 and 8 April 1945, wireless operator/air gunner Roy Andrews flew thirty-five missions with the RAF's 215 Squadron, based in Bengal, India.

Hardback. Condition: New. Between 11 October 1944 and 8 April 1945, wireless operator/air gunner Roy Andrews flew thirty-five missions with the RAF's 215 Squadron, based in Bengal, India. His ops comprised one long exercise, one Air-Sea Rescue flight, and either bombing and strafing, or just bombing, attacks against targets in Burma and Thailand, including three sojourns along the notorious Thailand-Burma 'Death' Railway. Roy began as his crew's second W/Op/AG, mostly manning a .50-calibre beam gun. By January 1945 he became the crew's primary W/Op/AG and flew his final twenty-five missions in this role.
