This is the story of the brave men who flew the lethal bombers that spewed terror from the skies and were crucial in devastating the enemy war machine. Their heroic saga of raw courage and mechanical genius will thrill generations to come. Strategic bombing of Nazi targets throughout the European theatre set the stage for the greatest military invasion ever attempted: Normandy.
