No Moon Tonight. D E Charlwood.

an Australian navigator in bomber command, england, ww2.

wow. for the last few hours i was not myself, living in australia in 2019 but another man, in england, in 1942/3.

as well crafted as the best novels i have read but brutal with every person, every crew member lost, a real human being.

if you are interested in ww2 aircrew and peoples personal experences of ww2, read it.

Just a few things like; Stealing radio valves

Pilfering soldiers kit bags when they came back from overseas service by slashing them open, stealing food supplies mainly meat (Mutton), canned hams etc.

I believe that stealing by some/a few dockworkers was quite a widespread/common problem before the introduction of shipping containers. The "authorities" probably did their best to monitor the situation but you can't watch everyone, all of the time.

very good for a 5 year old............although afterwards it was back to my little pony.

An that excellent comment, Duke, is exactly why soldiers defend freedom and our way of life. To let 5 year olds enjoy being children and grow up in a better world.
