FlyPast | Bomber Command
Formed 80 years ago in the biplane era, Bomber Command was devised as a force that could deliver a hammer blow to potential aggressors. Within three years, the command was involved in a blitzkrieg in which at first it was ill-equipped to fight. But by 1945 it had played a decisive role, living up to its motto ‘Strike hard, strike sure’.
This 100-page special publication from the team behind FlyPast magazine pays tribute to the men of a mighty strategic force that played a significant role in the destruction of Europe’s totalitarian regimes. Using extensive archive images, renowned aviation writers and researchers present an incredible salute to the men, machines and exploits of Bomber Command.
Features include:
Details of every Bomber Command operational squadron, 1936 to 1968
The life and times of Arthur ‘Bomber’ Harris, the command’s warlord
Major milestones in the command’s history
