First edition.

During the immediate period before World War Two, the RAF modified its command structure to rationalize for rapid expansion. Bomber Command was divided into six operational groups, each flying the same type of aircraft, her Whitley’s followed by Halifax’s. Having already completed the histories of 3, 5, and 6 Group, Chris Ward presents us with the history of 4 Group.  He continues with characteristic ease, quality of research, and narrative pace, to present us with an operational record of the group’s activities during a particularly dramatic period of aviation history. The book contains individual squadron statistics, their commanding officers, stations and aircraft losses. It provides a detailed reference for one of the RAF’s most important operational groups.
