Título : BOMBER BOYS Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: BISHOP, PATRICK, Autor Editorial: LONDON [UK] : HARPER PRENNIAL Fecha de publicación: 2007 Número de páginas: 395p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-00-719215-1 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Bombardiers -- Great Britain Bomber pilots -- Great Britain Bombing  Aerial -- Germany -- History -- 20th century Flight crews -- Great Britain Great Britain Royal Air Force Bomber Command -- History Resumen: Patrick Bishop looks at the lives and the extraordinary risks that the painfully young pilots of Bomber Command took during the air-offensive against Germany from 1940-1945. As featured on the BBC 1 documentary BOMBER BOYS, presented by Ewan McGregor. They came from every corner of Britain and its Empire. They were the best of their generation…heading for one of the worst tasks of the WWII. Like RAF pilots, the thousands of brave young men who joined Bomber Command took to the air to help Britain triumph in World War Two. But in the glow of victory, the fighter pilots were lauded for their efforts while the Bomber Boys faded in national memory. Crucial in the heat of combat, they were politically awkward afterwards. Yet with an average life expectancy shorter than that of soldiers on the Western front in WWI, these men faced death, injury and capture time and again to send bombs through the shrieking flak onto enemy territory. ‘Bomber Boys’ is a tribute to their strength, courage and heroism – filling in the historical blanks and immortalising their memory.

FIGHTER BOYS The battle of Britain, 1940 / BISHOP, PATRICK

Título : FIGHTER BOYS The battle of Britain, 1940 Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: BISHOP, PATRICK, Autor Editorial: LONDON : PENGUIN BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2004 Número de páginas: 434p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-14-200466-1 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Britain  Battle of  Great Britain  1940 Britain  1940 -- Personal narratives  British Great Britain Royal Air Force Fighter Command -- History World War  1939-1945 -- Aerial operations  British Resumen: For 123 days in the summer of 1940, 3,000 youthful airmen in the Royal Air Force fought back against Hitler’s advancing forces with a heroism that astonished the world. Drawing on interviews with scores of surviving pilots as well as diaries and letters never before seen, military historian and journalist Patrick Bishop re-creates with astonishing intimacy and clarity this excruciating, exhilarating war of nerves. In their own words, the pilots describe what it was like to bale out from a stricken plane, to go into battle in the face of overwhelming odds, to hear the screams of a comrade as he went down in flames. With a riveting, taut narrative, Fighter Boys relates how those young heroes changed the course of World War II—and the history of the modern world.
