RAF
Bomber Command The Hardest Victory
DEnis Richards 'The Fighters are our salvation, but the Bombers alone provide the means of victory' WINSTON CHURCHILL, 3 SEPTEMBER 1940 While Churchill acknowledged the vital contribution of RAF Bomber Command in the Second World War, it has recently come under fire from a whole generation of historians. They claim that the RAF offensive against Germany was immoral because so many civilians were killed, and wasteful because so many attacks were not on specific military targets. In this powerful book Denis Richards describes the Command's difficulties and failures, but also redresses the balance by making clear the magnitude of its achievements. His fascinating account dramatically re-creates the gruesome and protracted battle fought for almost five and half years in the night skies, in which over half the aircrew became casualties. Truly, it was 'the Hardest Victory'. 'A masterpiece :.. it is required reading for anyone who has an interest in the study of World War Two. - SIR MICHAEL BEETHAM, MARSHAL OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE 'Denis Richards, doyen of air historians, has brought to this survey his unrivalled experience ...a triumph of determination and skill' - AIR PICTORIAL 393 pp - Paperback - Published 1994
