Winding Down the Blog

January 2020 marked 75 years since the Harris Crew was assigned to 550 Squadron at North Killingholme, England. Though the crew’s tour was brief, they participated in some of the most controversial raids of World War II and went to battle against Germany’s top night fighter. Members of the crew endured time as prisoners of war.  Three members of the crew would never return to their families.

After five months of following the crew members through daily updates, the blog will soon be winding down.  Daily blog updates will continue for two more weeks and then I will sign off... At least for now.

Is this the end of the blog?

Definitely not.  I will continue to pass along news and stories related to the crew, Bomber Command and 550 Squadron, but rather than sending out updates daily, they will arrive periodically.

Where can I learn more about the Harris Crew?

Read the book of course!  The Harris Crew is now available for order.  Unfortunately due the current COVID-19 crisis and the closure of many printing houses, availability has not been consistent.  If your favorite online site shows the book as unavailable, please check back as the situation is changing daily.  If you want to get a copy right away (why wouldn't you?) and are having difficulty ordering one online, please email me at theharriscrew550@gmail.com.

The Harris Crew Website - Learn more about the crew and 550 Squadron here.  Details are a bit thin on the website at the moment, but I will continue to add material in the coming months.

The Harris Crew Blog - I am working on importing the blog into the website and will let you know when that happens, but in the meantime, you can read all of the blog entries on this site.
