[QUOTE="Pete E, post: 560746, member: 18110"] Below are actual recordings of WW2 Lancaster bomber crews on night time missions over Germany in 1943... They sound like the voices of old men, but in fact most bomber crews, including the pilots, was around 20 to 22 years of age, so just young lads really. They were incredibly brave and incredibly calm considering the immense danger they faced. The losses sustained by Bomber Command on those missions was astounding, with crews surviving their allocated number of missions without being killed, injured, or shot down and captured being in the minority. Incidentally although all the crews on this recording sound British, over 10, 000 Australians served with Bomber Command and again suffered some of the highest loss rates of any Australian forces in WW2.
