Description: "The 125,000 men from all over the world who passed through Bomber Command were engaged in a form of warfare that had never been implemented before. Between 1940 and 1945 they flew continuously, stopping only when weather made operations impossible. There was nothing romantic about their struggle. Often barely out of boyhood, they lived on bleak bases, flying at night on long, nerve-wracking missions that often ended in death. In all, 55,000 were killed, counting for nearly one in ten of all the British and Commonwealth war dead."--Jacket.
