Well, I've red tons of books about bombing raids over Europe. This one is interesting becouse describes the first year, late 1942-late 1943. Tons of sketches and very nice b/w photos. Even if sqdn numbers and locations are changed (its a 1944 document), I find it a very good reading for everyone, literally full of details about raids.
