Description
Big Week: The Biggest Air Battle of World War Two In February 1944, the Allies launched a monumental air assault against Germany, known as Operation ARGUMENT, which became infamous as Big Week. The aim was to cripple the Luftwaffe's production and fighter forces, but the Allies were facing a crisis of their own. With D-Day looming, they needed clear skies to invade, while the Luftwaffe was struggling to cope with the strain of its own losses. This is the story of Big Week, told through the experiences of pilots, aircrew, and civilians from both sides. It's a narrative of intense air battles, where the stakes were high and the outcome was far from certain. James Holland brings to life this critical period of the war, which has largely been forgotten, but is now brilliantly reimagined. With meticulous research and a gripping narrative, Big Week sheds new light on one of the most pivotal moments of World War Two.
