Summary:
The second volume in this study assesses how, from the autumn of
1943, technology further aided the Luftwaffe's night fighter force
while the intensity of RAF strikes against German oil and
manufacturing targets, and also eventually against Berlin itself,
increased. This resulted in a climactic battle of attrition for both
sides in the night skies over the Reich. The author relates the
development of both US escort strategy and the German principle of
deploying µmass-against-mass' which resulted in some of the most
ferocious air battles of the war in late 1944. Just as the Allies
believed that air superiority had been won, the Luftwaffe introduced
its revolutionary new jet fighters. Dr. Price relates the story of
the strategic air offensive over Germany from both the perspective of
technology as well as from the gripping and often tragic accounts of
those of both sides who fought in this epic campaign.
