How did you like 'Tail End Charlies' , Greenjacket ?

I'm half-way through and enjoying it very much. I had thought that it was 'just another Bomber Command book' and only bought it because it was half-price.

But it focusses on certain aspects of the Bomber war ( eg fear, morale, leadership etc ) and discusses 'taboo' areas ( LMF, suicides, etc ). The two authors are not BC experts, and it's not a reference book. But - sensibly - they have selected from a wide range of veterans reminiscences.

I like the result so far ( I'm also a bit biased because Reg Davey - the Mosquito Museum's 'resident veteran' - had a big input ).
