Description
It was a campaign unparalleled in the history of warfare: an attempt to win the Second World War by strategic bombing on an enormous scale. It required over a third of a million sorties, and led to the loss of 9,000 aircraft and 55,500 airmen. This book, which has deservedly acquired 'classic' status, provides a concise review of each raid, its background and associated operational statistics.
This edition includes a number of retrospective observations and an appendix, but essentially is a definitive record of Bomber Command's five and a half year battle in the skies of Europe. It is also an indispensible companion to Midland Publishing's highly detailed 'Bomber Command Losses' series.
