Bomber Command: The Victoria Cross Raids

RAF Bomber Command lost 55,000 men during WWII. Their motto was Press on Regardless and the majority of their operational missions involved flying into the fiery, smoke-filled skies of occupied Europe. No less than 23 of their members were awarded Britain’s highest decoration for valor – The Victoria Cross – most of them posthumously.
Martyn Chorlton’s book tells the stories of each of them – detailing how and why they won their medal. It recalls feats of unparalleled heroism and self sacrifice; memorable and terrifying.
