Summary
This is the story of RAF Bomber Command and the difficult, dangerous early years before and during the Second World War. It is the story of men and machines thrown into battle against hopeless odds and sacrificed because they were too little and too late. But above all, it is a story of courage and endurance, of the men whose nightly effort in the skies above Germany did so much to sustain the morale of the British people at a time when the might of the Third Reich seemed everywhere victorious. It is the often frightening story of decisions, right and wrong, that influenced the course to the strategic air offensive against Germany.
