  1. World War Two Bomber Pilot Colin Bell

    28 ФЕВР.

    World War Two Bomber Pilot Colin Bell

    At 105 years old, Flight Lieutenant Colin Bell is a living link to a world most of us can only imagine. Born in 1921, Colin grew up watching Charles Lindbergh land at Croydon, dealt with black marketeers for petrol coupons, and sweet-talked a reluctant girl called Cath into a date - the woman he would go on to marry. But it was the skies over wartime Germany that would define him. Flying solo Mosquito missions deep into enemy territory, running spoof raids over Hamburg, and making terrifying flights over Berlin, Colin saw and survived things that claimed the lives of a quarter of his squadron. In this episode of Lost Voices, he reflects on courage, fear, and what it really meant to fly for your country. A Daily Mail Production. Seriously Popular. Hosted on Acast.

Sandra Parsons, Literary Editor of the Daily Mail, explores world-exclusive extracts from Unity Mitford’s personal diary - revealing the fears and tension in those days before and after Britain was drawn into war with Germany.  In this final episode, Unity takes a day trip to Dachau concentration camp, moves into an apartment where the Jewish owners have been evicted, and finds herself increasingly alone, on a bed that she’s draped with swastika flags.
