MEET THE AUTHOR

"SPECIAL OP: BOMBER"
Published by David & Charles and written by the highly acclaimed author
 STEVE DARLOW

"Special Op: Bomber" is an action-packed account of this battle in the skies over Europe, from the perspective of the men who undertook the highly dangerous job of flying the bombers. Throughout the unrelenting and destructive air campaign there were certain vital operations that required the airmen of the RAF and the USAAF to take their skills to new levels, and to display courage above and beyond the call of duty. "Special Op: Bomber" draws upon a wealth of these courageous veterans' stories, many of them previously unpublished. The vivid first-hand accounts convey the peril of Allied air combat in World War II with breathtaking immediacy.
