Force Benedict by Eric Carter
'It's so important to document that generation's experiences, and Eric still has a glint in his eye that makes me think he'd tell a good story.' - Dermot O'LearyFollowing Eric Carter's role in the defence of Murmansk, he also saw service defending the skies over England and, towards the end of the war, in India and Burma fighting against the Japanese. After World War II, Eric forged a successful career in electrical engineering and continued to fly as a private pilot.
