This is a book that captures the horrors of World War II as witnessed by a young RAF bomber pilot.

This book takes you through the author's upbringing in pre-war Aberdeen to his eyewitness account of a raid by a German bomber on the shipyards in the city on 12 July 1940.

It describes how he came to join the RAF followed by his training in England, the USA and Canada before becoming operational. It then takes you, raid by raid, through the author's tour of operational duty over the period, September 1944 - April 1945.

It is primarily a bomber pilot's story and includes his sober reflections on controversial issues in which he was involved such as the bombing of Dresden.

However, it is also about the shared experience of the author and his crew and the risks they had to face. When they eventually met up again after a gap of 37 years it was an emotional and joyous occasion.

The best small dog chew stick ever
I've bought these several times and given them out to friends. These last a lot longer than the rawhide chews. Our poodles love them; over the past year, they are the go-to toy. My daughter and son-in-law's Dalmatian, who went through a moose antler in two days, still has one of these in decent shape after two months.

Great item for aggressive chewer
My dog is an aggressive chewer. He loves these! I had hoped it would stop him from chewing sticks and branches but it didn’t!

A bit smaller than expected
Dogs loved them but felt they were a bit smaller than expected. I had to take it away as I was afraid the dogs might choke / try to swallow.

Great Product
It was smaller than I thought, but it works great for my 9 month and 4 month old puppies. They liked the flavor and it is very durable. Probably not a good idea to take outside if you are surrounded by mud and/or dirt. Puppies will no longer want to play with it.

Great for aggressive chewers!
Size: Jumbo, Style: Peanut Butter
I have a very very aggressive chewer. She is a Rottweiler/Pitbull mix. Most toys she completely destroys within 2 days, sometimes 2 hours. I must praise this toy as she has had it for over 5 months and has not destroyed it! She loves chewing the ends and carries in her mouth squeaking it as she goes. I have 4 pups and they all take turns chewing when they can. I will be buying more Playology dog toys in the future. Thank you for making such a great toy!!
