The role of Bomber Command in the Second World War is still
shrouded in mystery. This book provides a new story of the campaign
and is both a military history and an investigation as to how the
modern image has come about. There have been hundreds of books
about the RAF and Bomber Command ranging from highly researched
histories, technical studies of the aircraft, to popular works; as
well as countless films, television shows and newspaper reportage.
Mark Connelly draws together all the strands to look at the image
created by this outpouring. Reaching for the Stars shows why Bomber
Command, in one of the largest and bloodiest campaigns of the war -
with 55,000 aircrew lost and more officer fatalities than in World
War I - has received so much attention yet is still a 'lost and
black sheep' among British wartime glories.
