Synopsis

The Allied bombing campaign directed at Nazi Germany's was economy was a unique event in history and will forever remain so. It was the first time that military forces had been able to attempt such destruction from the skies and, with advancing technology, aviation has not required the use of such numbers of bomber aircraft to achieve the same aims since. Roger Freeman has scoured national and private archives to show the British and American air forces in action as the war taken back to an expansionist Third Reich, to the core of its industrial heartland where its war effort was being steadily fuelled.
