Author Talk at Boldon LibraryJoin Ingrid Shepherd, Author and granddaughter of Wireless Operator Sgt Albert Walton of West Boldon, as she talks about her new book:
From Bomber County to Berlin – An RAF Airman’s Wartime Story
Written by two of Albert’s granddaughters, this remarkable true story follows Albert Walton through his RAF training, operational service in Bomber Command, and the top-secret missions of his Lancaster bomber crew in the legendary 101 Squadron.
Albert survived not one, but two plane crashes, before being captured on enemy territory and enduring life as a prisoner of war in three different camps.
Based on meticulous worldwide research and enriched with many previously unpublished accounts and documents, this book is a must-read for:
• RAF and WW2 history enthusiasts
• Boldon locals and historians
• Anyone inspired by stories of courage, resilience, and survival against the odds
