      Well written and beautifully told, the story of the men, and a few women, of Bomber Command in World War Two. This is a book firmly on the side of the airmen and is thus a refreshing take in this day and age. Focussing on the day to day lives of the airmen, rather than the battle details or the commanders, this book gives the reader a real sense of who these men were who volunteered for a fight many of them would never return from. Regardless of your position on the Allied bombing raids, this is a book that is well worth reading.
