Description

57 Squadron is a detailed account of the wartime career of a British squadron that played a significant role in the Second World War. From its formation in northern France in September 1939, the squadron underwent various changes in equipment and operations, including a transition from reconnaissance to bomber duties. The book explores the squadron's involvement in key campaigns, including the bombing of the Ruhr, Hamburg, and Berlin, as well as its contribution to the "Dambusters" raid. The squadron's history is marked by significant losses, and its record of service is one of the highest in the Command. Despite this, the squadron remained a vital part of Bomber Command's operations until the end of the war. This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth look at the squadron's history, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Second World War. With 400 pages of detailed information, 57 Squadron is a must-have for anyone looking to understand the role of a British squadron during the Second World War.
