Patrick Bishop

Harper Perennial, 2008 - History - 429 pages

A remarkable and disturbing look inside the dark world of Bomber Command, and at some of the most daring - and overlooked - airmen of the Second World War. Often flying at night on long nerve-racking missions, the odds were stacked against them. Despite their sacrifies, they have remained on the edges of our collective memory.
