Unlike ground soldiers they slept on clean beds, drank beer in local pubs, and danced to the swing music of the travelling Air Force bands. But they were also an elite group of fighters who put their lives on the line in the most dangerous role of all.\n\nMiller takes readers from the adrenaline filled battles in the sky, to the airbases across England, the German prison camps, and onto the ground to understand the devastation faced by civilians.\n\nDrawn from interviews, oral histories, and American, British and German archives, Masters of the Air is the authoritative, deeply moving and important account of the worlds first and only bomber war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ebury Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113296126005,"sku":"ByrdShop_1529107873","price":317.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781529107876_117302e7-e918-4380-ab13-b8d1a6099a4a.jpg?v=1781304716","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/masters-of-the-air-9781529107876","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
