Not for them the glorious, all-or-nothing exhilaration of the Battle of Britain pilots - rather, the slow dwindling of courage as mission followed mission, the long, freezing, ear-shattering journey to the target, the bursting flak, the prowling night fighters.  Then, if they were lucky, the long haul home, sometimes nursing a battered, barely flyable machine, often perilously short of fuel.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBruce Lewis flew in thirty-six such raids.
