''To Shatter the Sky'', subtitled ''Bomber Airfield at War'', is a book and also BBC Television programme of the same name by the military historian, author and screenwriter Bruce Barrymore Halpenny. The book was already being worked on when the author was approached by the BBC to produce a related theme for a history programme, hence the programme and book sharing the same name. The programme was aired on BBC 1 in late 1983 and the book launched in early 1984.〔''To Shatter the Sky: Bomber Airfield at War'' - Book Review by Martin Bensley - ''The Standard'' - Friday, 20 April 1984 pages 16-17〕 ==The Book== The book (ISBN 978-0850596786) tells of the day-to-day activities on bomber stations between 1939 and 1945, where the author had researched his material meticulously.〔 It draws extensively on reminiscences from surviving crew members who served such as at Waddington, Scampton, Skellingthorpe, Binbrook, Fiskerton, Bardney, Woodhall Spa, and many other bomber stations.〔''War Life on bomber stations in county'' - Lincolnshire Echo - Monday, 9 April 1984〕 The book also recalls the stories of those that didn't make it or were shot down over enemy territory. A routine flight from Skellingthorpe that turned into a nightmare, and memories of raids on Nuremberg, Düsseldorf and Hamburg, where airmen watched their comrades shot out of the sky by a barrage of deadly enemy flak, all go to paint a picture of what being an airman based in wartime England, was really like.〔
