Item description from seller

This black cloth hardback book with gilt impressions is in excellent condition with normal wear and marks consistent with use and age. All 192 pages, text and illustrations are in really good order. Dust jacket included. How can we really know what it was like to fly with Bommber Command in World War II? How can we share the fear at take off into unknown dangers, the intensity of anticipation flying through flak-ridden skies, the gut wrenching dread of the fighter which might be awaiting beyond the next cloud, the awesome drama of releasing a bomb load over a designated dropping zone, the euphoria of success and the necessary concentration on the run home, blessed relief of a safe landing at home base or of the wretched failure felt when shot down, the silence at thought of crash landing and capture, the ultimate emotion of seeing friends die in the sky? The answer is that we talk to the few who understood these flights, these night-mare rides into enemy territory. This is what Mel Rolfe the author, has done for this collection of twenty accounts of RAF Bomber Command at work. Unbelievable real life drama, well written.
