Philip Kaplan
in this new pictorial history from Philip kaplan, the perspectives of both raF and Luftwaffe airmen are considered within the wider context of one of the most iconic and pivotal conflicts of modern history. accounts and photographs of some of the most notable participants caught up in the proceedings include; al deere, Geoffrey Page, Brian kingcome, Peter townsend, Bob doe and Ginger Lacey.
First-hand accounts from both american and British bomber pilots feature. an account of the dramatic attack at Peenemunde is included as well as a host of accounts of the 3 december 1943 raF bombing raid on Berlin. they work to create a real sense of precisely what 'round the clock' actually meant, as these concentrated attacks drained pilots of every ounce of energy they possessed.
