No More War - For Two Weeks! According to Don Howard, an Australian Nav-B who flew with 59 Sqn, life on the squadron could be lonely and secular. It was normal for a crew to only associate with eachother or perhaps another crew that may have fallen into the same routine. Crews flew together, ate together and for two weeks every now and again.. they went on leave together. This page is dedicated to the times that crews (whether together or apart) spent away from the war and for many, had some of the most memorable experiences during the war years.
