Ausgabendetails zu Men of Air

The winter of 1944 was the most dangerous time to be a combat airman in RAF Bomber Command. The chances of surviving a tour were as low as one in five, and morale had hit rock bottom.

Men of Air is the extraordinary story of ordinary young men coping with the constant pressure of flying, loss of colleagues, and the threat of death or capture.

The stories of the famous events and developments of this period - the Great Escape, D-Day, the defeat of the V-1 menace, the Dambusters' low-level target marking - show how, through sheer grit and determination, these courageous crewmen finally turned the tide against the Germans.
