It's broadly chronological with thematic chapters - the only problem I found was keeping track of who everyone was as the book dips in and out of their stories, but it's not a big issue. Harris’s crew had an approximately 40 per cent chance of surviving the war, with their average life expectancy at times being only 2 weeks. Most poignant of all in this book are the captions to so many of the photographs, the name of the bright-eyed and unbowed veteran and the year of the photo is noted, followed in so many cases by the observation that they died just a few months after recording their interviews and before the book's publication.

Children 12 and under must be accompanied on the ice by a parent or guardian or person over the age of 16 in the interests of safety.

Nichol uses their own testimony, whether verbal or written, as well as the testimony of those who knew these men, to help the reader understand what flying the Lancaster during the Second World War meant.It could be argued that the advent of the Lancaster reflected and underscored the Allied war effort; flawed strategies, tactics and weapons that were improperly implemented were remedied, improved and then used in greater numbers and to a greater effect than the enemy could deal with, no matter how ingenious or how desperate they were in their response. Former RAF Tornado Navigator, Gulf War veteran and bestselling author John Nichol now tells the inspiring and moving story of this legendary aircraft that took the fight deep into the heart of Nazi Germany. It's not always possible to leave your dogs at home during long vacations or business trips, and often, you just want to have them with you to feel a little more at home while on the road.

The library building is located at the centre of the Bailrigg campus, providing a welcoming, open and inclusive place for library and university activity.
