Steaming into the Blitz : More Tales of the Footplate in Wartime Britain (First edition)

Steaming into the Blitz follows in the footsteps of Steaming into the Firing Line; book one of Michael Clutterbuck's ever-popular 'Steaming Into' series.

These fascinating, evocative stories will transport readers back to the heart of the Second World War, in Britain. Sheltering from air raids in the firebox of an engine; the hazards of sleeping in Underground stations during the bombing; transporting injured troops; suffering attacks from enemy fighters wishing to cause chaos on the transport system. The life of railwaymen during the war is one which is not often considered but which demanded its own share of bravery.

Steaming into the Blitz is full of lively characters, humour, and attention to detail. Fans of the first four books of this series will not be disappointed.
