Website about the book: Flying for Freedom - Life and Death in Bomber Command by Tony Redding Quote: |
A large format hardback, Flying for Freedom is an intimate, sensitive account of the human cost of Bomber Command’s war. The story, told by Lancaster rear-gunner W/O Sidney Knott DFC, is set in the context of a detailed assessment of the bomber war by author Tony Redding. Sidney Knott came very close to being a Dambuster with 617 Squadron. Given the choice, his skipper decided to stay with his existing squadron and Knott went on to complete 64 operations. This unique combination of dramatic narrative and strategic overview is supported by 115 photos and graphics, many published for the first time.
