About this product

Product Information

British RAF wireless operator/air gunner Bill `Enoch' Kirkness of Horsforth, Yorkshire, flew thirty-two B-24 Liberator bomber sorties, twenty-eight of which were against Japanese targets in Burma. He was credited with downing the night fighter that killed a crewmate and severely damaged his Liberator in April 1944; his aircraft's crash-landing abruptly ended his first tour of operations. He was awarded a prestigious Distinguished Flying Medal for his heroism. Bill's memoir of Wellington ferry flights, Liberator training, and operations with 159 Squadron typifies aspects of the human spirit-including fear and anxiety, focused determination, numbing boredom, brotherly camaraderie, heart-wrenching anguish, and comic relief-which any young man immersed within such a conflict would have likely experienced. Bill wore his heart, not just his sergeant's stripes, on his sleeve. Bill's story is a compelling, dignified account of an average man's war from 1942 to 1944 in the UK, the Mediterranean, Africa, and onward through his first operational tour based in India. Matt Poole, an expert on 159 Squadron and RAF Liberator activities against the Japanese, seamlessly enhances Bill's narrative with added historical detail. Although Bill passed away in 1994, Matt vowed to help bring the memoir to a wider audience.

A very good read if you are interested in the "Forgotten Army".
My father flew with 159 Squadron, South Asia Command. Sadly I did not know about this book until after it was published as I have several photographs that could have been included had I known it was being written. Dad flew on some of the missions described in the book which I can verify from his Flying Log Book, but sadly he does not appear in the book. The original author, Bill, writes in a style from the ordinary airman rather that from conventional history and it is a good read. Obviously I have a bias as I had family involved in WW2 and Dad in this theatre on this tour. For others I suspect the book will not be quite so interesting and its appeal may be limited somewhat to those still alive or their relatives. Never the less it IS a good read and I would recommend any one interested ... My father flew with 159 Squadron, South Asia Command.
