Warbird Radio Downunder - The RAF's Peter Isaacson
Description
WARBIRD RADIO - In this episode, a recording of a presentation Peter made to an audience in 2014, he takes the listener on a bomber mission, describing all that was involved for the average bomber crew member on an average operational sortie. He also talks about the poor treatment by the British Government and the media of Bomber Command's leader, Sir Arthur Harris, and gives a perspective of 'Bomber' Harris as viewed from one of the men who flew in Bomber Command.
He delves into the baffling controversies that have been generated in recent decades about Harris and the bombing of Dresden, and other topics. And he presents some statistics that detail the losses, and other casualties, in RAF Bomber Command. A sobering topic indeed.
