Book Reviews of Bomber: Events Relating to the Last Flight of an R.A.F. over Germany on the Night of June 31, 1943

Book Review: WOW! Blockbuster novel of RAF Bomber Command
Summary: 4 Stars

Fictional account of fictional mass bombing attack on a small city in the industrial Ruhr Valley of Germany on the night of June 31, 1943. If you think that death in the air is nice and clean, then you must read this book. Plenty of technical detail about the British Lancaster heavy bombers as well as the Luftwaffe night fighters, flak ships, air controllers and flak batteries that oppose them. Characters on both sides are developed in the book before the big raid which sends a stream of over 700 RAF bombers to carpet bomb the wrong target. You will get a good look at what it is like to make a raid in the big bombers as well as what it is like to be a German civilian on the receiving end of tons and tons of bombs. Could possibly be considered by some to be an anti-war book since it shows the folly of the fictitious raid and the horrible cost in human sacrifice - to what end? Definitely a testament to the bravery of the RAF bomber crews who relentlessly push on night after night against all odds as well as the German night fighter interceptors who try to destroy them. A good read and a great book.
