Castles in the Air

This is a new, revised edition of an aviation history classic. Castles in the Air recreates, in the words of surviving aircrew members themselves, all the tension and terror of their exhausting sorties deep into enemy airspace, fleshing out other, more impersonal narratives. With its wealth of firsthand information and 175 superlative photographs, this book will be read avidly by all with an interest in World War II.
