Tail-End Charlies meant different things to the Royal Air Force Bomber Command and the U.S. 8th Army Air Force. To the RAF, it meant a rear gunner in a Lancaster bomber. To the USAAF, it meant the rear-most plane in a formation of B-17s or B-24s, the position that was most vulnerable to Luftwaffe fighters. But, as the author points out, it also applies to those who served towards the end of World War II in 1944-1945.The authors redress the balance to highlight the bravery of the aircrew who were conveniently forgotten after the war by a government and politicians who wished to distance themselves from the destruction of Germany.

There's a lot of evaluation of the controversial commander of British Bomber Command, Arthur 'Bomber' Harris and his dedication to bombing cities rather than strategic targets, oil refineries, railways etc. In war, there is rarely a good position to be in. In the Second World War, much of the fighting took place in the skies above Europe. Both sides carried out concentrated bombing raids on civilian and military targets alike, and thousands of men on either side flew into missions, with many never to return home. Out of the crewmen on these bombers, one position was perhaps the most dangerous; and definitely the loneliest. An easy, interesting read that's helped by the visual presentation of the information. Children can get lost in the book, hardly realising how much they are reading - and learning. Junior Education

I liked the fact that it was also seen through the eyes of the American eighth air force as well as the RAF.

The author covers the strategies used by the RAF and USAAF. The RAF mostly flew night missions and conducted area bombings of German cities that contained military targets. The USAAF flew mostly daylight bombing raids that were supposedly "precision bombing" of military targets. But studies showed that "precision bombing" wasn't very precise for a variety of reasons. There's a chapter devoted to the RAF and USAAF heavy bombers being diverted from their strategic bombing missions over Germany to bomb targets in France in support of the D-Day invasion. There's also a chapter on "Bomber" Harris' struggles with his superiors about whether to concentrate on bombing oil refineries and transportation networks rather than on area bombing.
