Illustrated by John Batchelor.

The bombing offensive is probably the most controversial aspect of modern warfare. This book traces the development of the bomber from its earliest beginnings when pilots dropped steel darts, artillery shells and kerosene to the production of jet bombers- the atom bomb. The authoritative text and magnificent drawings tell the story of the evolution of the bomber and its destructive power.
