Synopsis
Don Charlwood was born in Melbourne in 1915. Accepted as a RAF navigator in 1940, he was posted to 103 Squadron at Elsham Wolds in the winter of 1942. There he crewed up with a pilot from Western Australia and a British crew to fly a Lancaster bomber. In No Moon Tonight he gives a profound insight into the inner lives of the men of Bomber Command and their hopes and fears in the face of mounting losses. He depicts the appalling human cost of the air war in an account which has been favorably compared to other enduring memoirs of the 1st World War, namely Sassoon's Memoirs of an Infantry Officer and Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front. A memorable first hand account of the air war over Germany.

From AudioFile
After joining the Australian Air Force in 1940, Don Charlwood was sent to Lincolnshire to fly Lancasters with the British Bomber Command. His memoir takes an intimate look at the nightly crisis of flying into the Ruhr, dropping bombs on tiny targets, and returning without getting killed or captured. Although the story deals with the same material night after night, every mission is harrowing in its unique way. Peter Wickham has a deep, resonate voice that is gentle and confiding when reading the love scenes between Charlwood and Joan Sutherland, a WAC in the Royal Armed Services; gritty and determined during the night missions to Essen, Dusseldorf, and Berlin; anguished during dogfights, when British bombers are shot down; and matey when the planes have safely landed once again at Elsham Wolds.
