Description of this Book
Robert Stowers, aged just 21 years, served in Wellington bombers over the Mediterranean. He completed 42 operations against heavily defended ports, railways, airfields and troop concentrations in North Africa and Italy. No combat role in the war was easy. Robert witnessed death at 10,000 feet and on the ground. He knew the emotions of combat and the toll it took on the human soul. Like any other bomber pilot, he felt happiness and relief when he sighted his home airfield after returning from combat. Robert never talked much about his war experiences. There were bits here and there. But the war certainly defined him. Throughout his life he was known as a quiet, loving and modest man. Many believed he was a perfect gentleman. One would struggle to think he was once a bomber pilot. --Cover.
