Many thousand of words have been written about the conception of the bomber offensive in World War II; the strategy, tactics, choice of target systems, method of attack, the evaluation of bombing results and the implication for the national war effort. Surprisingly, little has been written of the men who flew these bombers. Here is the story of some of those men and the stirring action in which they took part. This edition has a new Introduction by the author.All these stories are eloquent of devotion and endurance ... all are moving. They are told graphically, without sensationalism - Times Literary SupplementTales of Supreme Bravery - Daily Telegraph
