Angela Procter’s mum Edna Lonsdale was pregnant with her when tragedy struck on the morning of August 23, 1944, as a US Air Force bomber based at Warton crashed into Holy Trinity School, killing 61 people, including 38 children.
Among the victims was Georgina Lonsdale, the four-year-old elder sister Angela never knew.
In this video interview, Angela tells the tragic story of the Freckleton Air Disaster, which inspired her to write a novel to keep the victims' memories alive.
