ITV News published this video item, entitled “Bomber veteran, 95, writes book recalling his time in one of WWII’s most dangerous roles | ITV News” – below is their description.
A 95-year-old WWII veteran has written and self-published a book recalling his experiences as a member of RAF Bomber Command. John Henry Meller, from the Vale of Glamorgan, never previously spoke about his experiences as an Avro Lancaster bomber – one of the most dangerous places to be during the conflict, where aircrew were warned they had a 50/50 chance of survival. But a number of years ago he was persuaded by a relative to write down what he could remember to ensure that future generations would never forget. Now, with the help of his family, his memoirs have been self-published in the form of a book, and 100 copies are being sold around the world every week. ITV Wales Correspondent Richard Morgan went to meet him.
