Description:

The True Story of Two Airmen at War in the night skies Over Germany, one from Aotearoa and a Bomb Aimer, the other from Germany and a Nightfighter Pilot. 

They were the best of enemies – dedicated, skilled, and deadly effective in their assigned roles. 

In the treacherous night-time skies above wartime Germany, an RAF bomber command Aircrew and a Luftwaffe nightfighter Aircrew try to survive in the increasingly destructive air war they all find themselves in. 

Each passed by the other unknowingly in the darkness, until inevitably, fate brings them together one night in 1944 and only one Aircrew survives to see the morning light.

Stephen Harris wanted to discover the truth about his great-uncle’s exploits and death in action during WWII; he never imagined it would lead to him meeting the pilot from the other side who was responsible for that loss. 

Under a Bomber’s Moon reaches across the divide of years and countries from opposite ends of the world to tell the combined story of all of these brave Airmen, describing both the breathtaking clashes in the air and the camaraderie on the ground, patriotism and personal tragedies that became jointly their own experience of war.

Illustrated with 16 Pages of Photographs.

This book Details the fate of the Lancaster Bomber Aircrew of F/L RL Barnes RAF, who failed to return from operations with 7 RAF Squadron in February 1944. Amongst this mainly RAF Aircrew was a RNZAF Bomb Aimer, F/L FC Jones DFC MID Bar RNZAF (Born Auckland, Aged 35), who with the rest of the Aircrew, all failed to survive the loss of their aircraft. It also details the career of the Luftwaffe Nachtjagger (Nightfighter) Pilot and 'Experten' (ace) who flying his Messerschmitt Me 110 Nightfighter with NJG 1 shot down 18 bombers by 1945 and survived the war (now deceased).

The Author Stephen Harris is a career diplomat with the Government of Aotearoa and is related to F/L Jones RNZAF. After completing a six-year assignment at the Aotearoa Embassy in Berlin, he returned with his family late last year (2008) and is now Deputy Director in the Middle East and Africa Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Wellington. 

This is his first book.
