To date there has been a paucity of books on this remarkable
aircraft. Among its claims to fame are the following: the only RAF
bomber to serve in its original role from first day of war to last,
and in every theatre; the first type to bomb Germany; the first
type to bomb Berlin; the first type to drop the 4,000lb 'Cookie'
bomb; and so on. A serious study is well overdue, drawing not just
on official documentation but relying greatly on personal accounts
and anecdotes from the veterans who were there, both air and ground
crew. And here it is. Through his diligent research over many
years, author Steve Bond has produced an outstanding work. His
coverage of operations will include, inter alia, the early bombing
campaigns, the switch to main force activity, the use of OTU
aircraft and crews on operations, the protection of Atlantic and
Mediterranean convoys, service with the FAA and the French and the
Wellington's continued use as bomber and transport aircraft.
