The
Battle of Hamburg
by Martin Middlebrook
Over the course of 11 days in the summer of 1943, Allied bombers conducted
six major air raids on Hamburg. Historians have called this sustained period
of bombing the Battle of Hamburg; the citizens of that city, however, refer
to it as "die Katastrophe." How was this notoriously dangerous mission
carried out--and how, amazingly, did everything go exactly according to
plan for the Allies? Using the perspective of the flight crews on both
sides, and the citizenry below, the answers come into brilliant focus.

Bomber
by Len Deighton
Book Description Bomber follows the progress of an Allied air raid
through a period of twenty-four hours in the summer of 1943. It portrays
all the participants in a terrifying drama, in the air and on the ground,
in Britain and in Germany. In its documentary style, it is unique. In its
emotional power, it is overwhelming. Len Deighton has been hugely acclaimed
both as a novelist and as an historian. In Bomber he has combined both
talents to produce a masterpiece.

Day Bomber
by Arthur Eyton-Jones
The RAF's daylight bombing offensive was carried out in parallel to
its night operations for most of the Second World War. These daylight operations
were as deadly for their aircrews as for the enemy: the risks were great
and the casualties high. This is the vivid eyewitness testimony of an RAF
navigator who flew daylight operations in Bostons, Mitchells and Mosquitoes
from 1942 to 1944. He saw many of his own squadron wiped out and survived
a ditching in the North Sea which killed two fellow crew-members. Arthur
Eyton-Jones' story is one of survival against the odds.
