Alis Nocturnis - On the Wings of the Night

In the night of June 17th, 1940, an Armstrong Whitley Mk.V heavy bomber dropped it's deadly payload over its target in Germany when fate suddenly struck. The events that followed during the rushed and improvised flight back to base eventually led to a tragic ending in the middle of the Netherlands, costing two young men their lives.

With the help of many historical sources, the writer has recreated the flight as diligently as possible while giving the reader an immersive experience of this fatal last flight.
