WERE you in Bomber Command during World War Two?

Testimony Films is producing a new documentary for Channel Five to honour the sacrifice of Britain's Bomber Boys.

Nearly 50 per cent of the Bomber Boys were killed in action – the greatest loss of life suffered by any of the Armed Forces. However despite helping to win the war, their role has been largely forgotten – worse still, the Bomber Boys have often been blamed for the destruction of cities like Dresden and Cologne.  But next year a new monument is being unveiled, finally, to honour the sacrifice they made.

We are very keen to hear from anyone who flew as part of a bomber crew during WW2. What was it like to fly in a heavily laden bomber, knowing your chances of coming home were slim? How did it feel to be shot at by anti-aircraft guns and attacked by night fighters? What was the camaraderie like, how did it feel to lose your friends in combat, or to be accused of having a lack of moral fibre? What do you think Bomber Command achieved, and what do you think about the fact that the Bomber Boys have been overlooked?
