Description
For most of the early years of World War II RAF Bomber Command represented the only British force capable of striking back at the Germans. While criticized since the war for its bombing of populated areas, Bomber Command itself suffered by far the highest percentage of casualties of any British unit in World War II.
The author covers in detail the organization of Bomber Command, its aircraft, personnel and active operations. Ian Carter has an extensive knowledge of the photo archives of the Imperial War Museum, and has personally selected 250 pictures, most never before published, to accompany his detailed narrative.
