Beschreibung
Based on its author’s extensive flying experience, this new edition of a 1944 classic includes an introduction from IWM which puts the novel in historical context and shines a light on this vital and sometimes contested aspect of Britain’s Second World War. Over the course of one night in 1942, the crew members of Wellington bomber ‘P for Pathfinder’ each reflect on the paths of their own lives, as they embark on a fateful mission deep into the heart of Nazi Germany. Cecil Lewis’ novel examines the life of every man in turn, rendering a moving account of each as not merely a nameless crew member, but as an individual with a life lived, ‘a life precious to some, or one… these men with dreams and hopes and plans of things to come’.

Über den Autor
Cecil Lewis (1898 – 1997) was a British fighter ace in the First World War and a flying instructor for the RAF during the Second World War. One of the founding executives of the BBC, he enjoyed friendships with many of the creative figures of the day including George Bernard Shaw, winning an Academy Award for the 1938 film adaptation of Shaw’s Pygmalion. Lewis was a prolific writer and his novel Sagittarius Rising became a classic of First World War literature, considered by many as the definitive account of aerial combat. He retained a passion for flying all his life, and was the last surviving British fighter ace of the First World War.
