A Halifax bomber, on fire, over enemy territory.
Gordon Mellor recalls the night he was shot down in October 1942.
I had the pleasure of working with Gordon to publish his book through Fighting High, ‘ETA - A Bomber Command Navigator Shot Down and on the Run’, which we launched at Duxford. The book not only describes Gordon’s life in Bomber Command but also his evasion via the Comète escape line.

Today sees the launch of the Fighting High ‘Review Ace’ status.
For a military aviator to achieve ‘Ace’ status they need to have shot down five or more enemy aircraft. We’ve adapted that thinking for our publications and for one of our books to achieve ‘Review Ace’ status it needs to have recorded five or more ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews.
We already have a few aces in our pack, and we start with Roger Cole’s brilliant ‘High Flight – The Life and Poetry of Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee’.
Copies signed by Roger are available from the Fighting high website www.fightinghigh.com.
