RAF Bomber Command in World War 2

As book publishers we are proud to have been able to record the wartime efforts of a remarkable group of people ~ the personnel of RAF Bomber Command ~ who worked together in a wide variety of roles, in the air and on the ground, to ensure our eventual victory in World War 2.

We believe their stories should never be forgotten and have published many accounts from a wide variety of personnel ~ we have books by pilots, navigators, flight engineers, bomb aimers, and air gunners as well as those who worked on the ground to keep the aircraft operational ~ the riggers, mechanics, engineers, armourers and other groundcrew trades.

We believe their first-hand accounts of life in the RAF during World War 2 are an important contribution to the historical record.
