I wouldn't call it an obsession, but there's so much reading material on WWII that I am absorbed.
Okay, so there were these planes and they went over and bombed German targets ... stop right there, if you think that's all there was to it!
Night and day, Bomber Command in Lancasters and Halifaxes went over to Germany in their hundreds, sometimes over a thousand a time (just imagine that when you next look at the sky!), targeting German factories, transport hubs, oil depots grinding the enemy into submission. In all 55,888 Bomber Command crew lost their lives, over another 8,000 seriously wounded, the average age of 22, and not all Brits, either.
This gripping dossier brings their missions to the forefront.
