'On a Wing and a Prayer'
On a wing and a prayer….
Winter 1943 and a lone Lancaster limps home across the Yorkshire countryside. With a persistent fire in No 1 engine and other combat damage the crew fight their way back after a long 8 hr mission deep into Continental Europe. An episode repeated many times as the RAF intensified the night bomber offensive.
Title from an old WW2 song ….
‘There’s one motor gone - we can still carry on,
Coming in on a wing and a prayer’
