Description
The true story, in English and French, of a New Zealand pilot who gave his life to save the lives of others.
Flight Lieutenant Noel Stokes fought to a tumultuous end to save his crew and the French villagers below his bucking, burning Lancaster bomber. How did such an experienced pilot end up in such a situation? Was it just bad luck, or were there other forces beyond his command? What else was waiting in that night?
Will we ever know who the German night-fighter was?
What was the womens role?
Why were flowers so important? And bicycles?
What was the role of the Resistance fighters?
Why is this so important 75 years on?
