Description

Bomber Command Men, Machines and Missions: 1936-68 is a comprehensive history of the Royal Air Force organisation from its formation in 1936 to its final years during the Cold War. This book explores the reasons behind Bomber Command's creation, the personnel involved, and the philosophy that guided its development. The author delves into the operational aircraft that played a crucial role in Bomber Command's success, including the Avro Lancaster, Handley Page Halifax, and de Havilland Mosquito. The book also examines major target raids, the aircraft and squadrons involved, and the impact of the organisation on local economies and communities. Complemented by a range of images, this book provides a fitting tribute to the men and machines that made up Bomber Command during its most significant period.
