For all our Canadian Forumites

There is a new 4 part series starting tonight on History channel called Bomber boys.

Bomber Boys

Bomber Boys: The Fighting Lancaster bridges the generation gap and tells the story of the Lancaster crews and their critical role in the Second World War. Join History Television as we follow a group of young men who volunteer to re-live the wartime experiences of their grandfathers, who were members of the “Lucky H” aircrew. All are descendants of Canadian, British, Australian and American airmen.

Using a unique blend of living history elements, first-person interviews and never-before-seen World War Two colour footage, this dramatic four-part documentary series chronicles a new generation of “Bomber Boys” as they train to become a Lancaster Bomber crew.

As these young new recruits struggle to come to terms with 1940s discipline and values, we hear the harrowing anecdotes of the “real” Bomber Boys—the veterans who flew into the night skies over Occupied Europe to fight in some of the most significant battles of the war.

Witness the story of the amazing Bomber Boys, brought to audiences by Frantic Films, the producers of the History Television series, Pioneer Quest, Quest for the Bay, Klondike: The Quest for Gold and Quest for the Sea.

Airing November 7 – 10 at 8 pm/9 pm ET/PT.
