Description
This book is a riveting account, told in ten major chapters, of the young RAF crews who flew Lancasters in RAF Bomber Command from 1942 to the end of the war in Europe in May 1945.
It is unique in that the story is told through first-person accounts from RAF aircrew and German night-fighter crews who fought each other during raids on occupied Europe and Germany from 1942 onwards.
There are also reactions from German civilians who survived amid the rubble, carnage and fires in the towns and cities of the Reich as Bomber Command sought to destroy the enemy's will to wage war.
A whole host of incredible first-hand accounts by British, Commonwealth, American and German aircrew permeate the narrative and describe the aerial battles as only they can.
This unique book also includes many accounts and photographs that have not previously been published, while a rich mix of combat accounts from all sides is brought together for the first time in a single volume.
