BOMBER COMMAND 1939-1945. Reaping the Whirlwind
by Overy, Richard
This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in black cloth covered boards. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dustwrapper is in as new condition International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. From 1940 to 1945 RAF Bomber Command attacked the industrial heartland of Germany. Daylight attacks were impossible in the face of German interceptors, so RAF aircrew had to learn to bomb by night. Anti-aircraft guns and night foighters, bad weather and sheer fatigue took a terrible toll: 55,000 RAF personnel lost their lives in the bombing campaign. In this book survivors of the RAF's longest campaign reveal what it was like to take off, knowing that the chance of completing a tour of operations was less than 1 in 10. They describe every aspect of their war frm hazardous training flights to special missions, and how it felt to bail out from a stricken bomber over the Ruhr. Ref MMM 1
