A Day in the Life of an RAF Bomber Crew
In this episode, historian and author Jane Gulliford Lowes tells us about the daily lives of Royal Air Force Bomber Crews in 1943, including the story of her Great Uncle. With absolutely astonishing attrition rates, her Uncle Jack’s survival is nothing short of remarkable. The story also brings us some insight into the amount of stress these young men experienced, no doubt having lasting effects on those who survived the war. While not air force-specific, we do have an episode coming up in a couple of weeks that talks about combat fatigue and PTSD, and how we approach it so differently now.
