From Bomber County to Berlin by Ingrid Shepherd

From Bomber County to Berlin - An RAF Airman's Wartime Story is a powerful true account of courage, survival, and sacrifice in the Second World War, told through the eyes of Sergeant Albert Walton, a Wireless Operator with the legendary 101 Squadron.

Flying on one of the RAF's most secret missions over Berlin, Albert faced near-impossible odds. Shot down during a night raid, he parachuted from his stricken Lancaster Bomber into enemy territory. After narrowly surviving the descent, he was captured and imprisoned. He endured months in a German POW camp before liberation.

Written by Albert's own family, this remarkable story charts a vivid journey from the close-knit mining village of Boldon to the burning skies over Nazi Germany.

Drawing on personal letters, photographs, eyewitness testimony, and newly discovered memoirs from the families of fellow crew members, this book offers an intimate portrait of ordinary men living through extraordinary times.

A tribute to bravery, brotherhood, and the families left behind, From Bomber County to Berlin will stay with you long after the final page.
