Tail-End Charlies by John Nichol and Tony Rennell is the story of the controversial last battles of Bomber Command through the eyes of the heroic men who fought them.
Night after night, they swallowed their fears and flew long distances through packs of enemy fighters to drop the bombs that could destroy Hitler and bring about the end of the war. Tens of thousands of young men never came back, blown up or bailing out from burning aircraft to drop helplessley into enemy hands. Yet history has condemned their brave and valiant actions, denouncing them for the destruction of German cities and civilians, rather than acknowledging them for the heroes that they are.
For the first time John Nichol and Tony Rennell tell the story of the controversial last battles of Bomber Command through the eyes of the heroic men who fought them.
'Gripping, moving and thoughtful. The excellent team of Nichol and Rennell have done it again' Patrick Bishop, author of Fighter Boys

(Subject: Aviation - General) The airmen of the RAF's Bomber Command were among the greatest heroes of World War II, defying Hitler in the early days of the war and taking the battle to the German homeland. Nightly they flew through flak and enemy fighters to demolish the Third Reich. At the end of the conflict they continued attacking an enemy sworn never to surrender, but, once the war was won, men who devastated Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin and Dresden were treated as pariahs and their commander, Sir Arthur Harris, labelled a war criminal. The astonishing story of the controversial last battles in the skies of Germany through the eyes of those who fought them.
