Bomber Command - The Thousand Bomber RaidsBook
1942 was a crucial year for the fortunes of Bomber Command. This was over two and a half times larger than any previous raid by the RAF. The newly appointed Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Sir Arthur Harris, knew he had to show quickly that his Bomber Command could make a real difference to the war, so with Churchill's blessing he set about planning a vast initial air attack by at least one thousand bombers.
The success of that first raid was convincing while the two major follow up 'Thousand' raids on Essen and Bremen in June were less so, but still emphatically put Bomber Command back on the military map. The first selected target, Hamburg, was dropped due to poor weather conditions, and so it was Cologne which became the target of the colossal raid on the night of 30th May 1942. This book is a testament to all those who flew with Bomber Command, which lost 55,000 of its members
