Three bloody years of horrible battle, of a badly underequipped force fighting a superior enemy: that's what British Bomber Command endured in the early years of World War II. Every one of these tales, told by those who survived, features heroes with almost unimaginable courage and endurance. "...explains with honesty and clarity why the force had so many failures and paid so heavily for them...admirably achieved and...convincing."--The Times Literary Supplement.
