RAF BOMBER COMMAND LOSSES volume 4 - During the course of the Second World War, some 55,500 members of Royal Air Force Bomber Command become fatal casualties and a further 18,000 were wounded and/or became prison- ers of war. Over one third of these casualties occurred in one year- 1943. 194$ was also the year that saw the 'Battle of the Ruhr', the daring raid on the dams, attacks on Hamburg and on the secret rocket establishment at Peenemunde, and phase one of what was to prove a very tough 'Battle of Berlin'. It was also the year that saw Italy's exit from the war. In this volume there are details of 5,100 individual aircraft losses in the European Theatre of Operations. The entries appear in date order, together with the unit, aircraft type, serial, crew list, and the circumstances in which the loss occurred. There are also extensive Appendices. This sobering record is a testimony to the unselfish sacrifice made by thousands of young men, who came from all corners of the British Empire and from the occupied countries, to help in the ?ght to free Europe from the tyrannical grip of Hitler's Third Reich. v Large book which may incur additional postal charges for overseas B23.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Royal Air Force bomber squadrons operated from the very first day of the Second World War to within a few hours of VE day. During the course of those five and a half long years, over a third of a million sorties were ?own, but at a staggering cost, for of the l25,000 aircrew that served in the units of Bomber Command, some 55,500 were to become fatal casualties and a further 18,000 were wounded and/or became prisoners of war. Approximately 85% of these casualties were sustained on operations, the balance in training or other accidents. ln addi- tion there was the enormous material cost of 9,000 aircraft. > This second volume continues in the style set by the first, detailing 1,515 individual losses in the European Theatre of Operations during 1941. The losses are presented in date order, followed by the unit, aircraft type, serial and circumstances in which the loss occurred. Appendices are included which collate the overall losses by squadron and group, and those sustained by the Operational Training Units and Conversion Flights, plus unit bases, escapers and evaders, prisoners of war and internees, as well as additions to volume 1.
