The Bomber Command War Diaries: An Operational Reference Book 1939-1945

It was a campaign unparalleled in the history ofwarfare: an attempt to win the Second World War by strategic bombing on an enormous and prolonged 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 revised edition includes a number of retrospective observa- tions and a new appendix, but essentially continues as a definitive record of Bomber Command’s five and a half year battle in the skies of Europe. It is also an indispensable companion to Midland Publishing’s highly detailed ‘Bomber Command Losses’ series. Note. Large heavy book will incur extra postage for overseas purchase B22.
