Item description from seller

A sensitively-written true story by a RAF Bomber Command wartime R/T operator who talked down the crews on their return from operations, met them off duty and so offen mourned their loss within days.

The author reiterates her 'deep admiration for the men of Bomber Command who carried the fight to the enemy when no one else could. They were, and are, truly remarkable men! THE WAAF The Women's Auxiliary Air Force was formed on 28th June 1939 and by July 1943, from a strength of less than 2,000 when war began, reached its peak strength of over 180,000 officers and airwomen. By 1945 the WAAF were working with men in 59 airmen's trades in addition to 17 ancilliary trades established solely for the WAAF. The first women officers went overseas in 1940 and between then and the end of the war served in North Africa, Tunis, Italy, Greece and Holland. The first draft of airwomen sailed for the Mediterranean in May 1944 and they also served in the Far East, France and Germany. The work done by the WAAF during the war was recognised by the granting of a number of honours and awards and thousands were mentioned in dispatches. 186 were killed on active Service. On Ist February 1949 the WAAF became the Women's Royal Air Force. 171 p.…
