Happy 70 years in print to No Moon Tonight!

Don Charlwood’s personal account of serving in Bomber Command during World War II presents a moving, sympathetic and vivid description of what life was like during this time, focusing on the human cost of war and the feelings of the bomber crews as they were tasked with attacking heavily defended targets again and again as squadron losses mounted. A true classic of war literature, and a must read.

An article is available to view on our website for anyone wishing to learn more about Don Charlwood and the publication history of No Moon Tonight. https://crecy.co.uk/about-us/events

Congratulations on an incredible achievement!
