- Book 5 of 15: Operations Manual
For Bomber Command to launch a 'maximum effort' raid on the Ruhr by night, or a low-level strike on a target in enemy occupied Europe by day, it involved a huge amount of planning.
- Who decided what to bomb?
- Why, when and where were bomber airfields built?
- How was the overall command structure organized, from the Air Council down to individual squadron level?
- Who were the commanders and who were the men that made up the rank and file of the Command?
- How did the RAF train its bomber crews?
- What aircraft did they fly and what weapons did they use?
- How was a raid planned and once it was launched what happened?
- How was the effectiveness of a raid and bomber tactics analyzed afterwards?
- How did the RAF go about tracing the 'missing' (47,000 men 'failed to return' from operations)?
- How were damaged bombers repaired and made good again for operations?
Useful appendices include a Bomber Command War Diary listing key events 1939-1945, squadrons and their commanders, an a-to-z of bomber airfields, and sample orders of battle from 1939, 1943 and 1945. Fully illustrated with some 300 photographs, the Bomber Command Operations Manual gives a compelling insight into the workings of one of the most powerful instruments of 20th century warfare.
