This is a comprehensive reference to the structure, operation, aircraft
and men of Bomber Command from its formation on 1936 to 1968 when it
became part of Strike Command. It includes descriptions of many notable
bombing raids, the many types of aircraft used, weapons and airfields.
The five main sections of the book include a general historical
introduction and overview, operations, operational groups, aircrew
training and technical details of each aircraft type. Lengthy Annexes
cover personnel, the squadrons in World War II, accuracy of attacks,
orders of battle for each wartime year, maps of airfields locations,
tonnage of bombs dropped, and nuclear weapons carried in the post-war
years.
