In The Bombers, Robin Cross follows the history of the bomber from its emergence in specialized form in the First World War to the present day [of publication].  Not merely a book about the machines of war, it is also an account of the men who designed and flew them, the fighter pilots whose business it was to shoot them down and the civilians whom the advent of the bomber thrust into the front line of warfare.
