Air Raids—Epic Assaults of WWII is a comprehensive exploration of just how the war was won and lost in the skies above Europe and the Pacific. Author Kim Lockwood details the major air forces and their capabilities, the key dates and events, the pilots, and especially the machinery they flew day and night.Author Biography
