There are many heroic tales from the Second World War. The story of Jack Banks, arguably the youngest serving solider to die as a result of enemy action during WW2, who volunteered to storm a gun battery killing all the enemy, then succumbing to horrific injuries gained during the fight, and had just turned 16 a few days earlier. Or of the Niland brothers, who inspired the film Saving Private Ryan. There are very few tales however of the heroism displayed by those who didn't necessarily pick up a weapon.This book, complete with real life stories, documents the experiences, places and equipment of one of these groups of people affectionately named The Flying Nightingales.
