Flight-Lieutenant Colin Bell's book is a powerful and inspiring portrait of bravery in action, full of touching admiration for his RAF comrades - one in four of whom were killed. He paints a vivid picture of what it was like to fly a Mosquito in 50 raids over Germany, 13 of them to Berlin itself. There, coned by searchlights, he experienced the terror of being tracked by 88 mm radar-controlled anti-aircraft guns when he wasn't being chased by night-fighting Messchersmitt 262s - the only aircraft in the German armoury capable of outrunning the Mosquito.
