In for a Penny, in for a Pound

At times comical, at others tragic, this stirring story will leave a lasting imprint on the memories of its readers. Hewer's adventures during his life in Bomber Command were unique and exciting: he fell out of a bomber in training over Lake Erie and was saved only when his boot heel got caught on the gunring; he survived a run-in with a Picadilly Commando in London; and he almost killed a wing commander on his first mission as an RAF driver.

As a bright-eyed teen dreaming of piloting fighter planes over World War II Europe, Hewer could not imagine the vital role he would play in invading enemy skies as a wireless operator flying in Wellington bombers. In this thrilling memoir, Hewer recounts his unique odyssey through a dangerous time.
