Squadron's raid on the Valentin U-boat

BOMB DOORS OPEN by Flt Lt KEN TRENT DFC*
Ken Trent is one of the last surviving
veterans to serve with 617 Squadron during
WWII.
His remarkable story begins in the East
End of London before taking him on a
journey through RAF pilot training and on
to complete more than forty perilous
missions on Lancaster bombers over the
unfriendly skies of occupied Europe.
Ken recalls these events with modesty and
an unfailing sense of humour which serves
as an inspiration to all.
