Description
Like many of her generation, Wendy St. George grew up with an awareness that her Taranaki family had lost someone in World War Two. Her uncle Ted Saywell was never talked about but his photo was on the wall and she began to get curious about the RNZAF bomber pilot who never came home.
Internet searches led to email exchanges with people on the other side of the world as she tried to find out where Ted and his crew had died and where they were buried. She tracked down the lone survivor, RAF flight sergeant Ron Wisson, who had ended the war in a German POW camp, and their online relationship grew as they followed leads, sourced maps and records and shared the ups and downs of their search for answers. Their emails, and those of others involved in the hunt for the missing Handley Page Halifax MkII bomber shot down in the Aachen raid over Germany on 14 July 1943, form much of the narrative in this book.
