These are the Highly Evocative Wartime Memoirs of an NCO pilot whose operational experience was with Beaufighters and Mosquitoes. In particular he flew long range night-fighter patrols in the Mosquito in support of RAF bombers. This is not a gung-ho account of daring-do, but a 'warts and all' story of a night-fighter's training and a description of life on an operational squadron in time of war. No punches are pulled when the author experienced badly designed and dangerous aircraft, such as the Merlin-engined Beaufighter, a potential death-trap that killed many young trainee pilots, nor the errors sometimes made by senior officers who conceived the high-risk tasks that the young airmen had to carry out. Woven into this fascinating story of the men who hunted the hunters, using the then leading-edge electronic technology, are the entirely human tales of nights out on the town, when crews could relieve the stress of combat. Some hilarious accounts of wild nights on the ground blend comfortably with those about combing the German night skies in an endless search for the invisible Luftwaffe fighters tasked with the destruction of Allied heavy bombers.
