About this title

Synopsis

What was it like to fly through enemy skies, flak bursting, searchlight beams criss-crossing your route, enemy fighters likely to appear from nowhere? How did it feel to lose friends and colleagues night after night, to watch bombs explode on a target below, to observe destruction spread over a sleeping city? Real stories of war at its most horrific, of mid-air explosions, of crippled planes hurtling to the ground--truly a view of hell on earth.
