Description
British airmen experienced a wide range of conditions and challenges during the Second World War. They served in every corner of the globe, operating over oceans and deserts, jungles and cities.
In this fully illustrated introduction, Stuart Hadaway examines the experiences of the young men who, as well as carrying out air offensives, had to fly, navigate and defend their aircraft.
Learn about the kinds of expertise of each crew member had, the work of the Fleet Air Arm and Army air units and the roles of the ground-based staff who offered the support necessary for a successful mission.
