  What was it like to fly through enemy skies, flak bursting, searchlight beams criss-crossing your route, enemy fighters likely to appear from nowhere? How did it feel to lose friends and colleagues night after night, to watch bombs explode on a target below, to observe destruction spread over a sleeping city?These are the real stories of war at its most horrific, of people trapped, of mid-air explosions, of crippled planes hurtling to the ground--truly a view of hell on earth.

  Twenty first-person accounts by pilots who undertook these nightmare flights into enemy territory tell you what it was like to fly with RAF Bomber Command during WWII. Fly through flak-ridden skies. Watch an enemy fighter appear out of the cloud ahead. Release a bomb load over your designated dropping zone; then try to focus on the suspenseful trip home. The 80 photos and extensive illustrations of aircraft, crews, bases, and action make this a fitting tribute.
