On 12 December 1944, with the war entering its final stages, Bomber
Command launched its last Main Force raid on the Krupps Steel works
at Essen. The attack was devastatingly successful, and completed
for the loss of only a handful of aircraft. Three of the airmen
lost in the raid are still listed as `missing', believed killed in
action. Extensive investigative research by aviation historians
Sean Feast and Marc Hall has discovered the truth about what
happened to these missing men, and how they are linked to the
murder of three unidentified RAF airmen, on a bridge, within
twenty-four hours of believing they were safe. They have also
discovered the truth about a fourth airman, a Canadian, shot down
on the same raid who died in mysterious circumstances and whose
near-naked body was discovered after the war, hastily buried in an
unmarked grave. In the centenary year of the RAF, the authors
reveal a darker side to the history of the `Third Service'.
Complementing historical research with the evidence of present-day
specialists, they have pieced together the harrowing story of four
murders, the identities of the victims and their killers, and the
tantalising possibility that at least one of the `missing' men may
at last have been found.
