Description

This volume focuses of the early months of the hugely significant Pointblank Directive air campaign which saw Allied forces conduct daylight bombing offensives against strategic targets in southern Germany and south-eastern Europe. It also notes action against Axis allies such as Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria, that were being encountered for the first time by Western Allies. With minute and original detail and accompanied by hundreds of unpublished photographs, this is essential reading for scholars of the Second World War Allied air campaigns.
