Description

The 460 Squadron RAAF Raf Bomber Command Profiles offers a detailed look at one of Australia's most notable military units during World War II. Formed in November 1941, the squadron played a significant role in Bomber Command, conducting numerous operations against key targets across Europe. From its early days flying Wellingtons to its later years with Lancaster bombers, 460 Squadron demonstrated exceptional dedication and skill. The squadron's impressive statistics, including the highest number of overall sorties and Lancaster sorties in Bomber Command, are a testament to its hard work and commitment. This book provides an in-depth examination of the squadron's history, highlighting its key roles and contributions to the Allied war effort. With over 24,000 tons of bombs delivered, 460 Squadron left an indelible mark on the course of World War II. This comprehensive profile is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in military aviation history or Australian military heritage.
