THE NIGHT HUNTER'S PREY: The Lives and Deaths of an RAF Gunner and a Luftwaffe Pilot

Alexander Ollar was raised in the Highlands of Scotland, and volunteered as an RAF Air Gunner in 1939. Helmut Lent enrolled for pilot training in the Luftwaffe as soon as he was old enough. In July 1942, just as both men reach the apex of their careers, they meet for the first time in the night skies over Hamburg, and only one would survive. Photos.
