The Pendulum and the Scythe - Tours with 4 Group Bomber Command

Payment Options

At first sight, 'The Pendulum and The Scythe' may seem a strange title for a book on RAF Bomber Command, but when one realises how much the technological advances - and the tactical advantages gained therefrom - swung from one side to another throughout WWII, then the Pendulum becomes clear. 55,500 Bomber Command aircrew died serving their country during WWII - an horrendous toll paid to the Scythe of the Grim Reaper.

Ken Marshall's approach to the story of No.4 Group, Bomber Command is refreshing and different. The reader's attention is held throughout by the author's highly readable style as he unfolds the drama of 4 Group through the lives and experiences of individual aircrew members and squadrons.
