Sergeant Lloyd Lyne was a bomb-aimer with the RAF during the Second World War. He was assigned to a Squadron of Liberator Bombers in Heliopolis, Egypt, later based out of Italy, from where they would conduct raids on oil fields in Romania. He describes his various other missions in France, Italy, and Poland, including a 1944 flight over Warsaw to air lift supplies to the Polish insurgency against the German army when his plane was shot down. The only survivor of the wreck, he was found several hours later on a small island in the Vistula River. He was taken prisoner by German soldiers, and sent to Stalag Luft No.1 on the Baltic Sea.
