Black Night for Bomber Command: The Tragedy of 16 December 1943 by Richard Knott

On the 16th December 1943, 328 airmen lost their lives - they were the victims of the weather, not the Germans. This book relates the tragic circumstances of individual crews as they struggled to find their home bases in low cloud and fog. It includes stories from local people, and gives details of the rescue attempts and of the crash sites.

Richard Knott graduated from the University of London with a degree in history. He has worked as an actor, a teacher, and a management consultant (all with the Royal Shakespeare Company). Black Night for Bomber Command (Pen & Sword, 2007 and 2014); Flying Boats of the Empire (Robert Hale, 2011); The Sketchbook War (The History Press, 2013 and 2014); and The Trio (The History Press, 2015) are some of his past works. He has previously published two volumes on English education, a poetry anthology (Wordlife, Nelson, 1988), and a collection of cricket quotes (Cricket: Wit, Wickets, and Wisdom, Running Press, 1996).
