In 'Fighter Boys' Patrick Bishop brought to life the pilots who flew Spitfires and Hurricanes in the summer of 1940.Their skill and bravery decided the Battle of Britainsaved the nation from invasion and created conditions for Hitler's defeat.In 'Bomber Boys'Bishop tells a different but equally fascinating story.The 125000 men from all over the world who passed through Bomber Command during the Second World War were engaged in a form of warfare that had never been implemented before and never would be again.Between 1940 and 1945 they flew continously stopping only when weather conditions made operations impossible.For much of that timethey were the only fighters capable of attacking Germany inits own territory.There was nothing romantic about their struggle.Often barely out of boyhoodthey lived on bleak basesflying at night on longnerve-racking missions that often ended in death.The odds of surviving were stacked heavily against them.In all55000 were killed counting for nearly one in ten of all British and Commonwealth dead. Despite these sacrificesthe Bomber Boys have remained on the edges of our collective memory.When the fighting stoppedthey became something of a political embarrassment.Their actions have been the subject of a controversy that continues to the presentobscuring not only the losses theysuffered but also the couragecomradeship and fortitude with which they fought. In this powerful and moving work of historyPatrick Bishopbrilliantly captures the characterfeelings and motivationsof the bomber crews and pays tribute to their heroism and determination.They were among the best of their generationwho were called on to carry out one of the grimmest duties of the Second World War.'Bomber Boys' brilliantly restores these men to their rightful place in our consciousness.
