When you look up at the night sky, think of a flaming Lancaster and a 19-year-old from Toronto's Balmy Beach, swinging in his parachute
"It’s now hard for us to understand how a young man from Balmy Beach would have bombed Berlin and parachuted from his blazing and doomed Lancaster.

But Andy, and the thousands of men and women who joined the Canadian war effort, lived in a different reality than our own."
In this heartfelt article, John Carswell honours the men of Bomber Command while marking the 78th anniversary of his father's Lancaster being shot down in enemy territory.
