Bomber Command's campaign started on the very first day of the
Second World War and ended within a few hours of the final victory
in Europe five and a half years later. It was an attempt to win the
war in Europe by strategic bombing on such an enormous scale that
historians have only recently begun to piece together the finer
details of the individual raids. There have been many books about
Bomber Command, but Martin Middlebrook, the aviation historian, and
his research colleague, Chris Everitt, were the first to compile a
complete review of all the raids and the background stories to this
fascinating campaign. They undertook the gargantuan task not only
of documenting every Bomber Command operation but also of obtaining
information from local archives in Germany, Italy and the occupied
countries, on the effects of the raids. Little of this material had
been published previously, and never before had the two sides of
Bomber Command's war been brought together in this way. The Bomber
Command War Diaries has become the standard basic work of reference
on this extraordinary campaign. This edition includes retrospective
observations and a new appendix.
