"WE WAGE WAR BY NIGHT" AN OPERATIONAL AND PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY OF No.622 SQUADRON RAF BOMBER COMMAND

by Howard J. Sandall

Published by Schiffer Publishing Ltd.. 1st. 2011

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. 622 Sqdn. was just one of many Bomber Squadrons whose airmen carried out nightly missions, putting their lives "on the line" for King and Country during WWII. This account is relayed through the memoirs, diaries and letters of the men and women who fought and died throughout this dark period. Large format. Glazed pictorial boards. Marbled endpapers. B/w photos. 304 pages including index.

A lovely copy. Pictorial dustwrapper is very slightly scuffed.
