Hard cover dust wrapper, folio, 211pp. A little wear on dw edges at folds and top/base of spine, 'a scrunched' 2cm tear on front dw approx halfway down righthand side and 1cm in from flap fold, inscription by Sebastian Cox to former owner on title page; a good copy. Includes introduction by Sebastian Cox, a German viewpoint by Horst Boog and a formerly confidential air staff memorandum commenting on the Despatch, which was Harris' official report on his war operations. It gives his own point of view in more detail than any other document. Here, matter-of-fact descriptions of the destruction of entire cities sit side-by-side with technical considerations of bombing technique, defensive tactics and striking power. Harris' concise, carefully argued report was accompanied by numerous detailed statistical tables and graphs and they are all reproduced here.

First Edition
8vo., First Edition, with endpaper maps; grey cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter chafed (without material loss) at extremities. VERY SCARCE INDEED IN THIS CONDITION. Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur 'Bomber' Harris (1892-1984) was Commander in Chief Bomber Command from 1942 (when he replaced Richard Peirse) to 1945. Based on his experiences in London during the Blitz, Harris developed a belief in intensive incendiary bombing as a means not merely of destroying cities but of undermining civilian morale. His new concept of 'area bombing' was put into practice with the first 'thousand-bomber' raid on Cologne in May 1942. Like most large-scale innovations this was a major gamble, but its undoubted success (colossal damage inflicted for the loss of forty aircraft) paved the way for Britain's bombing strategy for the rest of the war. Eventually this policy (which remains controversial to this day) brought him into direct conflict with both Portal and Churchill, but Harris pursued it doggedly until the surrender. Arguably the greatest RAF commander of WWII, Harris was an outstanding and inspiring leader, achieving almost iconic status among staff and crews alike. After the war he refused a peerage but accepted a baronetcy in 1953. Enser, p.65.
