Life, Luck and Lancasters

Susan Butterworth

Louis Butler DFM was born in Oldham, Lancashire, on 20 October 1920. A family butcher by trade, he was moved to join the RAF in 1940 at the age of 20 as a raw recruit. By the age of 22 he was a wireless operator in a squadron flying Lancasters on night raid over Germany. This is the sort of those fearful years, as recounted to his daughter Christine Butterworth. Told in the vernacular, his account is full of incident and interest, and vividly expresses his fears and aspirations, and his relationships with his fellow crew members, during that period of his life.
