these costly raids--including crucial tactical shifts within the R.A.F.--and
month-by-month coverage of the most important runs. Based on over 400

Night
and Day Bomber Offensive This is an interpretation of the compromise between Air Chief Marshal Harris, C-in-C RAF Bomber Command, whose force was equipped to fly and attack by night, and Brigadier General Ira C Eaker, his counterpart in the U.S. 8th Army Air Force, whose force was equipped to fly attack by day. These two commanders hatched the concept of bombing the enemy "Round The Clock" and this book portrays the great differences between the two complementary Air Forces. |

Guy
Gibson Morris sums it up very aptly :- "His essence was simplicity and irrepressible spirit. His beliefs were few, clear and uncomplicated. He approached issues, tasks and relationships with uncommon directness. He seldom dissembled. Although utterly practical, he was also emotional, a sentimentalist." |
