Target Berlin. Mission 250: 6 March 1944.

On 6 March 1944 the Americans launched their first large-scale daylight raid on Berlin, the capital of Hitler's Reich. The price they paid for their audacity was high: sixty-nine heavy bombers and eleven escort fighters failed to return, the highest number in any raid mounted by the 8th Air Force. This account of the mission is a compellingly readable, skillfully researched, minute-by-minute description. It is also the first book on the subject to look at events from the perspective of both sides, drawing on material from over 160 USAAF personnel, Luftwaffe pilots, civilians in Berlin and around and German flak gunners. Target Berlin captures all the excitement, anguish and horror of the operation, bringing to the fore the mounting horror of a mission plagued by misfortune, strong defenses and bad luck. The gripping narrative also sheds light on what it was like to be in Berlin as the bombs began to fall.
