Full title: The War in the Air 1939–45: An Anthology of Personal Experience: Freedom's Battle Volume Two

This is the second volume in the unique Freedom's Battle trilogy, which provides intensely vivid accounts of war at sea, air and on land.

From the brilliant summer nonchalance of 1940 to the grim, anonymous exhaustion of the bomber crews delivering the infernos of Hamburg and Dresden. All the great dramas of the air war are here, described by the men in the British and Commonwealth Air Forces who did the fighting. We accompany them in the desperate days of the fall of France; during the Battle of Britain; throughout the agony of Bomber Command; over the high seas, Malta, the desert battles and in the struggle with Japan.
