The scenarios presented in this book are all credible and demonstrate how narrow the margin is between victory and defeat. They also present the possible consequences of a different outcome. This is a very interesting and provoking book.
The author has written this book as a tribute to the Aircrew Association, which disbanded in 2012. With the passing of the last survivor of WWI, suddenly the survivors of WWII are rapidly dwindling with most now into their 90s. The associations which meant so much to them are now disbanding because their last members are now few in number and growing frail. This book is an excellent tribute to RAF bomber aircrew and has taken first hand accounts from a representative cross section of a typical bomber crew.
