WHILE the heroic exploits of 'The Few' of Fighter Command are rightly lauded, those of 'The Many' of Bomber Command often remain overlooked. Night after night, the bomber crews ranged across Europe seeking out and attacking targets in anall-out effort to undermine the German war effort against Britain and prevent invasion.The Other Battle of Britain tells the stories of the young men who carried out dangerous missions on a nightly basis, battling against both the enemy and the elements, relying on a mix of nerve, skills and luck to hit their target and make it home. Faced with flak and fighters, exposed to the harsh weather conditions and operating at the edge of their capabilities, for the young men of Bomber Command, this was 'The Other Battle of Britain'.

Two, whoever turned Tweedle's manuscript into a book, meaning the publisher, really did the man no favors. The bibliographic apparatus is rudimentary, the book would have benefited from having a chronology and order of battle tables and, most damning, there is no index whatsoever, rendering the work useless as a research reference.
Going forward in regards to studying this campaign, I might find myself looking at Pen & Sword's series dealing with the groups of RAF Bomber Command. Also, one Garry Campion has produced a de facto trilogy about the history of remembrance of the Battle of Britain that seems well regarded. I'll also be hoping that Osprey fills the appropriate gaps in their "Combat Aircraft" and "Air Campaign" series. ( )
