First Light or Bomber. One true, the other so filled with details and atmosphere it seems real.

The best book I've ever read on BoB is this one:
Gun Button To Fire Tom Neil 249 Sqd. Hurricanes I liked First Light too but with this one you get a blow by blow account of each day really with all the little details that matter to us simmers. Tom was able to use the letters he sent home to his parents daily to provide interesting details and dates that probably would have otherwise been forgotten. Amazing read. All the emotions he felt really come through strongly. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&k...l_6ig8j741xc_e |

I have hardly ever read fiction, but this book reads loke non-fiction. Deighton's research into the workings of the German night-fighter op's & the those of RAF heavy bomber squardons is a real eye-opener - I learnt loads about Freya radar, bomber & night fighter strategy etc etc!! I can thoroughly recommend this book - I'm sure you, like me, learn a lot when reading it.
