Description

Bomber Command is a compelling account of one of the most controversial struggles of the Second World War. RAF Bomber Command's offensive against Germany was a pivotal campaign that resulted in significant loss of life, with over 56,000 British and Commonwealth aircrew and 600,000 Germans killed.

The struggle began in 1939 with a few primitive aircraft, but by 1945, the RAF had developed a formidable force of 1,600 Lancasters, Halifaxes and Mosquitoes. Max Hastings has meticulously researched this period, drawing on documents, letters, diaries and interviews with key surviving witnesses to create a vivid assessment of the RAF's integral role in the war.

This book is a fascinating and detailed examination of one of the most significant campaigns of the Second World War, shedding new light on a pivotal moment in history.
