The winter of 1944 was the most dangerous time to be a combant airman in the RAF Bomber Command. The chances of surviving a tour were as low as one in five. Morale was rock bottom.
The daily heroism of those fighters come to life in this comprehensive and compelling history of that year, encompassing the most dangerous periods of the Battle of Berlin and the unparalleled losses over Magdeburg, Leipzig, and Nuremberg.
Men of Air includes personal accounts of how ordinary men coped with the constant pressure of flying, the loss of their buddies, and the constant threat of death or capture. By exploring famous events such as the Great Escape and D-Day, the reader finally learns how the Men of Air turned the tide against the Germans.
Highly recommended.
