Flight back to Britain was tracked by the Luftwaffe
Quote:
"It was the perilous 18-hour flight which saw Britain's wartime Prime Minister fly back from America while being hunted by the German Luftwaffe.
Winston Churchill had flown back across the Atlantic in 1942 after lobbying President Roosevelt over the Allied Forces' strategy against Hitler.
And given the flight risks and importance of the discussions, the long-haul voyage back to Britain was one of the most significant of the Second World War.
Now a rare family archive has captured the intimate moments of Churchill's flight, including pictures of the wartime leader at the controls of the Boeing Clipper flying boat RAM 'Berwick'.
