Night and Day Bomber Offensive: Allied Airmen in World World II Europe

For much of WWII, England provided the only western European base from which British and American air forces could take the war into Nazi-occupied Europe and Germany. The American Eighth and Ninth Air Forces struck enemy targets by day, at great distances often on raids of eight or nine hours duration, while the RAF flew most of its demanding missions at night.

This highly illustrated book conveys what it was like for pilots, aircrew, and groundcrew during their wartime service -- a vivid and powerful human expression of the life of not only the bomber airmen, but the medics, the mechanics and beyond.
