American Raids on 17 August 1943.

On the 17th of August 1943, the entire strength of the American heavy bomber force based in Britain struck deep into Germany for the first time. Their targets were the Messerschmitt aircraft factory at Regensburg and the ball-bearing factories at Schweinfurt. The raids were a disaster, the American air force's worst defeat of the Second World War. One in six bombers failed to return.

Martin Middlebrook brings to this account meticulous standards of research, working from original documents and the personal accounts of survivors - the American aircrews, the Luftwaffe fighter pilots and the people of Schweinfurt and Regensburg. In the controversial air war against Germany, Schweinfurt and Regensburg were a turning point: harrowing losses in the pursuit of long-held Allied hopes that the bomber would bring an early end to the war.
