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.
