About the Author
Patrick Otter has spent his whole working life as a journalist in his native Lincolnshire, working on a variety of newspapers, including the Grimsby Evening Telegraph where he became an assistant editor before taking early retirement on health grounds. His interest in aviation and, in particular, the wartime history of Bomber Command was sparked by his research into the events leading up to the loss of his father's 9 Squadron Lancaster over Berlin on what became known as 'Black Thursday' in December 1943, six months before he was born. He is the author of a number of books on Bomber Command and the wartime histories of airfields in both Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. He is married with a son, a history professor at Ohio State University in the United States.
