"It became a a fascinating battle between the crews of Bomber Command and the Luftwaffe's night fighter force, the Nachtjagd, with no shortage of courage and heavy losses on both sides. Amongst the epic encounters were Bomber Command's Thousand Bomber raids, the attack on the German V-weapons research establishment at Peenemünde, the campaign against the industrial Ruhr, Hamburg and Berlin, and the disastrous raid on Nuremberg."--Book jacket.
