An Air Gunner's
Log Book Analyised.
Mrs Pat Best,
wife of John D W Best, and Nita & Chris Best have kindly
given permission to publish this account. It has been compiled
by John Johnston, the author of the 149
Sqn history, "Strong by Night". He has done
his usual authentic and painstaking analysis of the log book
and come up with a detailed look at the selection, training
and operational duties of an Air Gunner on a Lancaster. Well
worth a read for an insight into what an Air Gunner went through
in the late war years.
An Air Gunners' Log Book.
Sgt
L H Nicholson, Air Gunner
Mr Dave Richardson
has, with the help of family members, produced a fascinating
story. It tells of the life and death of his uncle, Lawrence
Nicholson, a Sgt Air Gunner of 149 Sqn in 1942. There are some
wonderful pictures, documents and memories in this for us all.
The story now includes the memorial service which occured earlier
this year, and the Book of Rememberance.
A classic
example of what can be achieved through research.
