At Salbani in 1943, 159 Squadron ground crew toil on a Mk II Liberator???s No. 1 engine / A GRIPPING new book which tells the first-person story of one of the brave RAF pilots responsible for fighting the Japanese in the skies over Burma during the Second World War has been released this week, giving a fascinating insight into one of Britain???s lesser-known conflicts. Images from ???RAF Liberators Over Burma: Flying with 159 Squadron??? by Bill Kirkness and Matt Poole, show Bill and his crew carrying out repairs from their base in India, while troops can be seen preparing the aircraft???s machine guns in another. A further image shows a pilot preparing for take-off from the base, while several shots of the crew together offer a real insight into what life was like for the RAF pilots fighting in this area of the world during the war / Fonthill Media / mediadrumworld.com
