Bomber Command's offensive against the cities of Germany was one of the epic campaigns of the Second World War.

The struggle began in 1939 with a few score primitive Whitleys, Hampdens and Wellingtons, and ended six years later with 1,600 Lancasters, Halifaxes and Mosquitoes razing whole cities in a single night.
