RAF Bomber Command spearheaded the fight against Germany's armed forces and industrial heartland during the Second World War.In the space of six years no less than 389,909 sorties were flown,with a loss of more than 55,000 aircrew and nearly 11,000 aircraft.Although the targeting of specific cities is still the subject of controversy,Bomber Command's overall contribution to the Allied victory is beyond question.But how did a Command, ill-equipped at the outbreak of war,manage to transform itself into such a mighty fighting force? What role did it play when the Second World War gave way to the 'Cold War' and the nuclear age?
These questions,and many others,are answered in this,the first full history of Bomber Command.It has been meticulously researched by aviation historian Chris Ashworth who relates the story of the Command from its inception with biplanes, through the wartime days of Halifaxes, Wellingtons and Lancasters to the post-war V-bombers and its disbandment in 1968.
