  From saving the lives of his crew from a near-fatal spin, to rescuing a pilot from a blazing aircraft, Jack Davenport was an indisputable WWII hero. Kirsten Alexander charts Jack's development from his Depression childhood, to the green recruit who had difficulties locating the target on his first Bomber Command operations, through to the superb pilot who led successful strikes against German shipping and the cool and resourceful planner of Coastal Command operations in the latter months of the war.
