'A stunning war book that dwells on the men of courage who made victory possible ... a dramatic if controversial account, long overdue.' - Oxford Times 'Carefully compiled first-hand accounts ... excellent reading.' - Flypast 'A detailed and comprehensive book.'- Britain at War 'Gives vivid memories of pilots, navigators, wireless operators, flight engineers, air gunners and flying controllers.'- Aeroplane 'The British government declined to award a campaign ribbon to Bomber Command. Feast's book clearly demonstrates why that decision was so utterly shameless, revealing the courageous achievements of an outstanding military unit.' - Walter Boyne, Aviation History
