During the third week of February 1944, the combined Allied air forces launched their first-ever round-the-clock bomber offensive against Germany. The aim was to smash the main factories and production centres of the Luftwaffe and draw the German fighter force up into the air and into battle. Officially called Operation ARGUMENT, this monumental air assault very quickly became known simply as Big Week. Following the fortunes of pilots, aircrew and civilians from both sides, Big Week is a blistering narrative of one of the most critical periods of the entire war, one that culminated in the largest air battle ever witnessed.

It is a very interesting book - although it is very factual. Let me recommend this book for those, who are interested in air battles and WWII. Det er en ganske god bog, selvom den til tider kan være noget tør og faktuel.Det er en bog for "nørder", men læs den endelig.
