Publication date: Kindle pre-order available
Arthur Hirst has a wife, Elsie, a young daughter, Maggie, and a life rooted in Halifax. War takes him away from the mill town and into the Royal Air Force.
Training becomes operational flying. From Wellingtons to Lancasters, the rear turret gives Arthur a narrow view of a vast and dangerous sky. The voices of his crew become a lifeline.
Grounded in the world of RAF Bomber Command, Tail-End Charlie follows the strain of service, the bonds between aircrew and the family life that continues far below.
