Bill Norman Libros

This highly illustrated book is the second in a two-volume work that records all known Luftwaffe losses over NE England during World War II. The first volume, Broken Eagles - Luftwaffe Losses over Yorkshire, was published by Leo Cooper/Pen & Sword in 2001. At least 64 German aircraft crashed in Northumberland and Durham, or off their respective coastlines, during the War and 256 German aircrew became casualties. This book records in fascinating detail the losses of both German aircraft and personnel. It also describes the exciting and dramatic circumstances in which such losses occurred and the reactions of people involved

Little has been written about the North-East during World War II where the fury of the Luftwaffe was no less devastating. In this book, Bill Norman conveys his memories of those who endured those ghastly yet heroic days.
