Navigating Over 90 World War II "Ops".
Smith. As a result of living through the Manchester blitz, 16-year-old Albert Smith joined the RAF. Here, he recalls successes and failures with the new target marking system; mission aborts and successes; and all the fears associated with being the first aircraft over a heavily defended target. His narrative, interspersed with extracts from official Bomber Command records, gives both the official and the human stories of the air war over Germany. 192 pgs., B&W photos, 6"x 9", sfbd. #0011143
