The epic, untold story of the bomber crews who helped turn the tide of World War Two.
This work should be essential reading for fans of Max Hastings, Stephen E. Ambrose and Donald L. Miller.
They flew through walls of flak, hunted by the Luftwaffe, night after night. Allied Bomber Command endured the highest and bloodiest casualty rate of any aerial unit - yet, unlike the famous fighter aces, their stories have remained in the shadows.
In Men of Bomber Command, acclaimed historian Chaz Bowyer uncovers the harrowing and heroic experiences of these young men. Drawing on memoirs, interviews, and eyewitness accounts, Bowyer brings their voices to life: the terror of a first combat flight, the nerve-shredding raids by night and day, and the tragedy of 'Black Sunday', when 53 aircraft and 500 aircrewmen were lost.
These were British, American, Australian, and Canadian young men, many barely out of school, who faced impossible odds with unshakeable courage. As Arthur Harris, commander of RAF Bomber Command, said: 'There is no parallel in warfare to such courage and determination in the face of danger over so prolonged a period.'
Men of Bomber Command brings the tales of the bomber pilots and crews to life, recording their actions, experiences, and tragedies through the brutal years of World War Two.
