Fire by Night by Jennie Gray

When she was very young, the author was captivated by the story her father, Joe Mack, repeatedly told her about his astonishing rescue from a crashed and burning Lancaster one night in 1943. As an adult she decided to find out what happened to his aircraft and the countless others returning from operations that same dreadful night and to record it for posterity. Through her research, she uncovered the harsh realities of warfare, the failure of procedures and, worst of all, her father's shocking secret.
