Description
The RAF's most daring missions and campaigns of the Second World War are vividly brought to life.
From the archives of the Public Record Office Roy Nesbit has unearthed a stunning collection of action photographs. These are complemented with a selection of colour paintings from war and contemporary aviation artists. The meticulously researched text completes the story with details of the planning, action in the air and the fate of the individual aircrew involved.
All the famous missions are covered as well as less celebrated RAF stories such as the Burma campaign. Coverage is given to varying activities – air-to-air interception, strategic bombing, ground attack, anti-shipping operations and reconnaissance.
From the 'Sitzkrieg' and Battle of Britain through the Dambusters and thousand bomber raids to the fall of Japan, the RAF's role in defence and attack is dramatically portrayed in photos, poster art and words. The majority of the photographs and paintings are previously unpublished.
