摘要

As the Battle of Britain raged over southern England in 1940, the public witnessed aircraft shot down in flames. There were just four plastic surgeons - led by the formidable and maverick Archibald Mclndoe, based at East Grinstead, in Sussex - who could reconstruct the faces and bodies of the 378 aircrew who were badly burned that year. The number of burned aircrew rose to nearly 5,000 as the bomber war intensified.
