Bomber Command Max Hastings

Bomber Command’s air offensive against the cities of Nazi Germany was one of the most epic campaigns of World War II. More than 56,000 British and Commonwealth aircrew and 600,000 Germans died in the course of the RAF’s attempt to win the war by bombing. The struggle in the air began meekly in 1939 with only a few Whitleys, Hampdens, and Wellingtons flying blindly through the night on their ill-conceived bombing runs. It ended six years later with 1,600 Lancasters, Halifaxes, and Mosquitoes, equipped with the best of British wartime technology, razing whole German cities in a single night. Bomber Command, through fits and starts, grew into an effective fighting force.

Max Hastings’ Bomber Command won immense critical acclaim when first published in 1979. Featuring over 100 first-hand interviews with aircrew veterans and a brand-new introduction by the author, this classic work of military history draws upon specially researched photographs and illustrations to illuminate one of The Second World War’s most controversial aspects.
