The Legend of Lancaster A for Apple

Amazing War Stories - A podcast by Bruce Crompton

On the cold evening of the 20th of December 1943 over 650 Allied planes took off from their bases in England and headed for Frankfurt on what they hoped would be a decisive blow against Nazi Germany. But for one crew in particular this sortie would become a desperate fight for survival from which not all of them would return. This is the remarkable true story of the 7 men assigned to Lancaster bomber MG-A JB652.  Sign up to our newsletter here: http://eepurl.com/imr7Dk To find out more about this initiative visit amazingwarstories.com Have a story to tell?
