    Description

    Aviation book
    Sir Arthur Harris - ’ Bomber ’ Harris - remains the target of criticism and vilification by many, while others believe the contribution he and his men made to victory is grossly undervalued. He led the men of Bomber Command in the face of appalling casualties, had fierce disagreements with higher authority and had a complicated relationship with Winston Churchill. Written soon after the end of the Second World War, this collection of Sir Arthur Harris' memoirs reveals the man behind the Allied bombing offensive that culminated in the destruction of the Nazi war machine, but also many beautiful cities, including Dresden.

    Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur Travers ’ Bomber, Butcher ’ Harris, 1st Baronet, G.C.B., O.B.E., A.F.C. ( April 13th, 1892 -
