Summary RAF Bomber Command was the only British force to strike directly at the enemy homeland. It was a truly cosmopolitan body, including men from Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, the United States, neutral Ireland, occupied nations of Europe, India and other countries in the British Empire. This book is a tribute to the Australians who served in Bomber Command during World War II. The Spitfires and Hurricanes of RAF Fighter Command defended the United Kingdom against German aerial attacks. The Bomber Command's role was to attack the enemy's own military strength by bombing their airbases
