The Book

The Harris Crew is available now!

On January 8, 1945, the Harris Crew was assigned to 550 Squadron at North Killingholme, England. Though the Harris Crew’s tour would be a brief one, the crew would participate in some of the most controversial raids of World War II and go to battle against Germany’s top night fighter. Members of the crew would endure time as prisoners of war. For one, his injuries would lead him to become the youngest member of ‘The Guinea Pig Club’, a club airmen would hope never to join. For another member of the crew, his fate would be mired with a puzzling war crime.

Weaving together letters written home by Flying Officer Robert Harris and first-hand accounts written by Sergeant Douglas Hicks along with Squadron records and historical archives, the author has created a riveting snapshot of the remarkable Harris Crew and their short but harrowing time with 550 Squadron.
