Описание: Guinea Pig Club member Alan 'Fingers' Morgan was a flight engineer on board a Lancaster bomber with No. 49 Squadron on his 21st birthday, returning from a mission over Stuttgart. After flak caused the main door to fly open, resulting in a drop in temperature and air pressure, the skipper instructed the wireless operator, Frank, to go and try to close the door. Frank passed out almost immediately and Alan was sent both to help him and close the door. He managed to successfully pull the door closed, but soon realised that Frank's oxygen bottle was faulty. The freezing temperatures left Alan with severely frostbitten fingers and the aircraft made an emergency landing for Alan to be taken to Chichester Hospital. Gangrene set in and he was transferred to Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead where all his fingers were amputated. After receiving treatment from pioneering plastic surgeon Sir Archibald McIndoe, Alan was able to return to flying duties in 1945, flying Halifax's until he was demobbed later that year.
