Description

Mr. Campbell describes the tension that is felt within the interrogation office on a return mission awaiting the return of aircraft.

Transcription

We had to go on interrogation when the crews came back, and talk to the person who was operating the radar, either the bomb aimer or the navigator, to see what, if there are any problems. Because sometimes you get things happening at high altitude that didn’t happen on the ground. So you were in the briefing office and watching the tension grow as time went. And there was still one or two aircraft hadn’t landed. And those young men, knowing that tomorrow night they had to go back and do it again. This is the memory that sticks with me, is how they reacted.
