Bomber Command

RAF Bomber Command lost 55,000 men during WWII. Their motto was Press on Regardless and the majority of their operational missions involved flying into the fiery, smoke-filled skies of occupied Europe. No less than 23 of their members were awarded Britain’s highest decoration for valor – The Victoria Cross – most of them posthumously.
Martyn Chorlton’s book tells the stories of each of them – detailing how and why they won their medal. It recalls feats of unparalleled heroism and self sacrifice; memorable and terrifying.
