A Stirling Chance

Wing Commander Bob Munns DFC RAF (Retd) of XV Squadron and the Hon. President of the Mildenhall Register had read the manuscript of this story and was honoured in writing the foreword in memory of the brave crews of Bomber Command. This is the most poignant story of a Stirling Bomber. It covers the life of LS-C N3756 and its crew on their final raid over Germany and its crash landing in Suffolk. Included, is the author's search for the sole survivor and the next of kin of those killed, together with the family letters in detail. There are extracts from the log books of the Rear Gunner Flt Sgt E Egri and Sgt P Busby, the Flight Engineer, with many photos of interest. It also includes stories of other XV Squadron crews including the full story of LS-A, its raid over Italy, its crash landing in Spain, the capture of the crew and their final release. This book will bring back memories to many and tears to your eyes but you will not put it down until the last page is turned. It serves as the recorded memory, an extract from those days when so many young men made the final sacrifice.
